The Crossover

Filthy and J.B. are superstars on the Hughes middle school basketball team, but find themselves drifting apart when J.B starts pursuing other interests. Chuck suffers an attack on the court and is taken to the hospital, leading to questions about his health and ability to coach. When a new girl arrives at Hughes, Filthy falls head over heels in love—only to see his brother make the first move.

The Langston Lions are cursed with an epic losing streak. To make things worse, Filthy's long-time rival, Zuma, has been talking smack about his game performance on social media. Convinced that Voodoo is the solution for it all, Filthy travels to Congo Square with Maya, Vondie, and J.B. for answers—only to learn that there's no shortcut to winning and believing in yourself.

It's Harlem Renaissance dance night at Hughes, and expectations are sky-high. Filthy's determined to make his last middle school dance a hit, but JB wants to dance away his problems—like an overdue essay he lied about writing. But even the best laid plans go awry when a thunderstorm hits, tensions between the twins rise to a boiling point, and family secrets are forced to come into the light.
