Beau has dreams of being an artist and leaving the Chicago projects she' s grown up in. But after her older sister, Katia, is killed by an off-duty police officer, Beau knows she has to clear her name by finding the only witness to the murder; Katia' s boyfriend, Jordan, who has gone missing. If she doesn' t find him and tell the world what really happened, Katia' s death will be ignored, like the deaths of so many other Black women before her. Beau sets up a Twitter account to gather anonymous tips. But the more that Beau finds out about her sister' s death, the more danger she finds herself in. And with a new relationship developing and the struggle to keep her family together, Beau is soon in way over her head. How much is she willing to risk to clear her sister' s name and make sure she' s not forgotten?
