In an effort to combat cycles of inequality, a visiting African-American businessman establishes a home for minority teens in New Zealand's most sought after school zone. But with political and racial tensions rising in the USA, he must choose between the teens in his care, and his own community back home in Chicago.
In 2011 American Terrance Wallace launched The InZone Project; its aim was to transform the lives of disadvantaged Maori and Pasifika teens by moving them into supportive homes, in zones that enable them to receive opportunities at top Auckland schools like Auckland Grammar. Director Robyn Paterson (Finding Mercy) follows Wallace as he attempts to take the programme back to his hometown of Chicago.
