In Chicago, the day after Martin Luther King was assassinated, fires are burning, violence has broken out on the west side, and a young man who lives alone in a sixth-floor walkup is annoyed by a banging on his bedroom wall coming from the next door neighbor's apartment. When he goes to her (the neighbor's) apartment to complain, what began with a mysterious thumping on his bedroom wall evolves with an invitation that leads to a game, and then into something more intimate and unexpected, as all the while, beyond their building's walls and windows, fires burn and history's violence goes on unabated.
