Delman Moore's Steppin Back takes place on a University campus and looks at the subculture of African-American Greek fraternity life. Early in the film a student commits suicide. This triggers the many Black fraternities on campus to take a look at what sort of behavior they are encouraging in their members. The houses organize a Step-show in order to do some good in the wake of the tragedy. The film touches upon the history of Black fraternities in the United States.
The Charters family falls into despair over their drug-addicted son Gary. They discuss his problems through the "Toughlove" program in searching for answers.
