Thieves

Edrina's a blossoming science-fiction writer, and struggles when her white English teacher wants her to write about the "black girl experience". But when her brother Latt comes begging her for help when his new friends leave him holding a stolen laptop, Edrina finds on the computer a short story fitting her teacher's assignment. When she turns it in and the real writer steps forward, an uncomfortable racial comedy of errors ensues.
