Baby Boy

South Central LA. Cicadas. A busted tail light. Perpetual adolescence clings to Jody, jobless and juggling two kids by two women while mooching off his own mom. New love arrives. But real adulthood requires more than just ditching the sneakers. Singleton's follow-up to *Boyz n the Hood* is a patient relationship drama.
