Fresh

Fresh is a somber coming of age story about a resourceful young boy who growing weary of his drug-infested Brooklyn neighborhood unleashes a plot to outdo local drug dealers. Newcomer Sean Nelson gives a stand-out performance in the role of Fresh, a smart streetwise kid who is drifting into a life of crime and thus alienating his family, his grandmother and aunt with whom he lives in an overcrowded apartment and is unemployed alcoholic father (Samuel L. Jackson). Fresh takes bold steps when the little girl he likes at school is accidentally shot dead in the playground and his junkie sister takes up with a respected drug dealer, and hatches a ruthless scheme which pits dealers and rival gangs against each other.
