Based on the award-winning best seller by Jess Mowry, "Way Past Cool" is a coming-of-age story told in reverse, for it is the story of a group of young black kids and their fight to reclaim their childhood.
The bum Gas and the junkie Sebastian comb through the garbage cans for useful things after the Christmas holidays and end up finding a dead baby. In order to honor the death of the baby, they leave the city to bury it in the countryside.
