The story

Malcolm Adekanbi and his best friends, Jib Caldones and Diggy Andrews, are high school "geeks" living in "The Bottoms", a high-crime neighborhood in Inglewood, California.

Jib and Diggy accompany Malcolm to the party, where Dom's purchase of high-grade, powdered molly is interrupted by an armed gang, and several people are shot.

After school, Malcolm prepares to hand over the drugs when he receives a call from Dom, in custody, who tells Malcolm not to give the drugs to the other caller.
