Keyshawn Bien-Aime is a college-bound, first generation, Haitian-American, dean's list student filled with a world of ambition and promise, who soon realizes that his dream school might actually be a nightmare. Once absorbed into the backdrop of the idyllic Ivy League university and the "whitest frat on campus," Keyshawn finds himself struggling not only to maintain his grades, but the deepest parts of himself too.
