| SYNOPSIS |
Motivated by his childhood experiences, Emmy Award-winner/actor/comedian Chris Rock narrates this very hilarious & touching story of a teenager growing up as the oldest of three children in Brooklyn, NY in 1982. 1982 is the year that Chris (Tyler James Williams) turns 13. Filled with dreams of being a cool teenager, Chris moves with his family from the projects to the "Bed-Stuy: Do or Die" neighborhood. As the family's emergency adult, he's accountable for taking care of his younger brother Drew (who's taller and more confident than Chris) (Tequan Richmond) and sister Tonya (who gets all the parents' attention) (Imani Hakim) while his parents are working. Chris' rough cost-conscious father Julius (Terry Crews) works numerous jobs to properly support his family. Who runs the household in a very tight budget is very strict and sassy mom Rochelle (Tichina Arnold) who works part-time in a small real-estate office. With his mom strong-minded to see him in a good school, while Drew and Tonya go to the same school in their old neighborhood, Chris reluctantly faces multiple bus transfers every day to attend Corleone Junior High in the fiercely Italian neighborhood, South Shore. Although being an immediate target for bullies, Chris' innate charm and sharp wit will enable him to make new friends at school like Greg (Vincent Martella), another smart, nice kid...who can't fight, by the way. As Chris Rock pointedly looks back, his younger self is set to find what his family already knows: Chris' sharp, scrappy character is going to take him places. But first, he's going to have to think, talk or run his way through one growing experience after another at both home and school, and on any number of buses along the way.
