The Flooded Playground is a digitally composed animated fairy tale about a young child who resides in a house which has a darkly disturbing force that oppresses him in body, mind and spirit. The wallpaper torments him, a malevolent wind deters him from eating, and thorned vines erupt in his bedroom. A sudden cataclysm throws him into a craggy wonderland where he wanders into deep forests and through his inner inferno in a quest to mend his damaged spirit. Thematically, this film is concerned with the amorphous fears, covert brutality, yearnings, and magical thinking of childhood, the resiliency of the human spirit, and the meaning of home. Lush visual images depict the emotional complexities of childhood - the combination of helplessness and invincibility, sweetness and brutality, and the edge where lines between the real and the imaginary are blurred.

Em Mission College, uma universidade de negros sulista, Vaughn Dunlap (Laurence Fishburne) é um estudante sério, que se envolve com problemas estudantis e direciona suas críticas para a atual administração, que considera insensível para sérios problemas. Vaughn está profundamente ligado no sistema de ascensão social das fraternidades. Dunlap é um ativista dedicado, enquanto Meia-Tigela (Spike Lee), seu primo mais jovem, gasta a maioria do tempo tentando ingressar na fraternidade mais popular enquanto tenta achar desesperadamente um envolvimento (e provar que não é virgem). Os dois tentam alcançar suas metas discrepantes e, paralelamente, há um problema racial em conflito dividindo a universidade entre os "Wannabees", os mais claros, e os "Jigaboos", os mais escuros.
