synopsis
Young Tarik loves basketball, but only second to spending time with his father who is often away on deployment with the US Army.
We find Tarik outside of New Mt. Zion Baptist Church with his father’s small notebook in hand, wearing his father’s Kobe Bryant official jersey over his dress shirt. There is a bandage on his forehead where he was grazed by a bullet.
He asks passersby if they want to meet his father. After several tries, Caleb, a kind teen on a skateboard approaches Tarik, admiring his Kobe Bryant jersey. They strike up a conversation, and Caleb shows Tarik how to skateboard. Afterwards, he agrees to meet Tarik’s father.
While going to retrieve his skateboard before entering the church Caleb finds that Tarik has already gone in. When Caleb enters the church he realizes it's not the father Tarik wants him to meet, but the real Tarik, who has his own tragic secret.
