Ace of Spades

Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

Ace of Spades follows Chiamaka and Devon, two black students at an overwhelmingly white private school. They don’t have much in common (Chiamaka practically rules the school, while Devon prefers to stick to the sidelines) until they get threatening messages from an anonymous bully. In order to figure out who’s targeting them, they band together and discover that things may be even more sinister than they seem.
