According to press notes, Stick Fly chronicles what happens during the summer weekend stay of a well-to-do African American family at their Martha’s Vineyard mansion when the two adult sons bring their respective ladies (one black and one white) to meet the parents. A hilarious look at race, class and identity politics ensues.
