Under Pressure

Rashawn Hughes

Quentin 'QB' Banks has always been a fighter, even though it always seems as if he is holding on to life by a mere thread. After serving time in prison, QB returns to his Queens, New York neighborhood and begins working as the Director of U-Turn, an at-risk community center for teenagers. Nicknamed 'OG' (Original Gangster), QB is respected by all, especially two of the center's teenagers, Torry and Chase. When someone tries to gun down QB, Chase and Torry's lives change forever. QB fights to suppress his feelings for revenge, while Torry is faced with a new challenge he doesn't think he can endure. Chase, on the other hand, carries a secret that can destroy them all. Will QB retaliate against his enemies? Will Torry overcome his internal demons? Will Chase come clean, tell the truth, and prevent others from getting hurt? Only time will tell when you're Under Pressure!
