Pressure
A coming-of-age narrative about five teens growing up in the 1980's Harlem, New York. It marks the birth of a new generation of children known as the "hip hop" generation, which grew up alongside the "crack cocaine" generation. Karon goes into a deep sleep following his 1985 graduation. Having dreams within dreams transports him into a realistic scenario about his prospective future as a drug-dealing adolescent in the 1990's. His quick money mentality is detrimental to the community, and his closest friends eventually become caught in the crossfire of his criminal activity. He regains consciousness in 1985, realizing that the "easy way out" promised was not a magnificent new beginning, but the conclusion.
