| Summary |
"An educated, upscale young black musician marries a woman from a lower socioeconomic class to get her out of the clutches of her stepfather, who beats and abuses her. However, once he 'saves' her, he won't let his new wife meet his mother, as he knows she will be angry and disappointed with him for marrying someone 'below his station'."--IMDB |
