Red Hook Summer tells the story of Flik Royale (Jules Brown), a sullen
young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer
with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse (Clarke
Peters), in the housing projects of Red Hook. Having never met before,
things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly
attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his
grandfather's constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city
life, Flik's summer appears
to be a total disaster - until he meets Chazz Morningstar (Toni
Lysaith), a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of
Brooklyn. Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins
to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better,
than he'd ever imagined.
