At Mission College, a historically Black university, the student body is divided along lines of social class, skin tone, and hairstyle. Dap, an outspoken activist, is passionately advocating for institutional and social change on campus. He aims to foster a sense of historical consciousness among his peers, encouraging them to consider issues affecting the African American community beyond the campus walls. Tensions arise not only between Dap's group and the administration but also among students themselves, revealing deep-seated prejudices and conflicts within the Black community.

Parallel to Dap's activism, fraternities and sororities play a significant role in student life. Julian, the leader of Gamma Phi Gamma, embodies the conflicting values and priorities of these social organizations. Under Julian's control, the fraternity prioritizes superficial status and hierarchy over unity and substance. Amidst pledging rituals and fraternity politics, conflicts emerge that test friendships and personal integrity. As homecoming weekend approaches, these various tensions escalate, culminating in a dramatic confrontation that forces students to confront their identities and loyalties.
