In this stirring coming-of-age drama, 14-year-old Mouse (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) and his best friends Lamont (Donielle Tremaine Hansley) and Sweartagawd (Kezii Curtis) desperately want to join The Midnight Clique, an infamous group of dirt bikers who rule West Baltimore's summertime streets. Following the tragic death of his older brother Stro, a legendary Midnight rider, Mouse is determined to win the respect of the neighborhood, help provide for his family, and above all, be a man. As his mom Teri (Teyonah Parris) and mentor Detective Rivers (William Catlett) work overtime to help the bright, charismatic teen reach his full potential, Midnight's leader, Blax (Meek Mill), takes Mouse under his wing - an act of kindness that inadvertently leads Mouse down a road paved with fast money and violence.
