During a brutally hot Atlanta summer, a crew of Black teenagers deals with the aftermath of their biggest tag an audacious defacement of the United States largest basrelief monument to the Confederacy. They never exactly planned to hit Stone Mountainthings just got out of hand. But as June gives way to July and the temperature keeps rising, the crew cant quite manage to get anything back under control. Instead, each struggles with conflicting allegiances and problems theyre not quite ready to handle, and they hurtle toward the summers end and a future that threatens to pull them apart for good. Meanwhile, two FBI agents attempt to untangle the knot of rage, alliances, and tensions that led to the tag, getting in deep and ultimately revealing their own dangerously different professional agendas.Set to a thumping soundtrack, rolling down suburban lanes and congested highways, In the Heat of the Light delivers a new twist on the old story of a crew of young friends drawn in different directions on the verge of adulthoodone that is rooted in Black experiences of gentrification, Black Lives Matter, music, and a mosaic of Atlanta neighborhoods made up of families, food, and overwhelming change.Stephen Kearse is a dynamic journalist and critic covering movies, music, and American history for media including New York Times Magazine, Uproxx, Pitchfork, and Paste.
