Romiette and Julio
Preview: Hear it

Star Crossed Lovers When Romiette Cappelle meets Julio Montague, she feels as though she has met the soul mate who can rescue her from her recurring nightmare about fire and water. But like the Shakespearean characters whose names echo theirs, Romiette and Julio discover that not everyone approves of their budding romance. In their case, it is because Romiette is AfricanAmerican and Julio is Hispanic, and the Devildogs, a dangerous local gang, violently oppose their interracial relationship. When the Devildogs threaten to teach them a lesson, Romiette and Julio come up with a risky plan to escape from the gangs fearsome shadow. But things go terribly awry, and the two find themselves caught up in a deadly reality more frightening that Romiettes nightmare and in a desperate struggle to avoid the tragic fate of Shakespeares famous young lovers.
