The story

Eighteen-year-old white Jewish DJ and rapper Zack lives with his single father, who runs a record store.

Zack confides in Dee that he is attracted to Nikki, but is scared to proceed as a white man to a black woman.

Nikki and other students enjoy dancing to the music, but some of the black students, including Larry, who is into Pan-Africanism, and Calvin "Nut", a delinquent bully, believe he's culturally appropriating.
