O
“Trust. Seduction. Betrayal.”
Even though he's the only black student at the elite Palmetto Grove Academy, star basketball player and future NBA hopeful Odin James has the adoration of all, including the team's coach and the Dean's beautiful daughter Desi. Odin's troubled friend Hugo, the coach's son, is deeply resentful of his father's preference of Odin on and off the court. When Hugo plots a diabolical scheme to sow the seed of mistrust between O and Desi, it sets in motion a disturbing chain of events which erupts into a firestorm of breathtaking intensity.
A simmering, Shakespearean-inspired thriller set in an elite high school. It's a tense, dramatic exploration of jealousy and ambition, where simmering resentments boil over into a destructive storm. The preppy aesthetic belies a dark, psychological undercurrent.
