The Temptation of Fate is a tale of naïve teenagers and ignorant young adults who tempt fate with their rebellious, value-deficient attitudes. These youngsters are never prepared to take responsibilities for their actions because they think the world owes them something. And they are inadvertently encouraged by parents who do not know the difference between parental love and negligence.
JESSICA WEATHERS: A white 17 year-old teenager in the suburb of Chicago is
a spoilt brat whose profane vocabulary will make
a sailor green with envy. In spite of her loving, adoring parents and a
middle-class background, Weathers cannot wait to be free from parental control.
LAKEERA
WATSON: On the other side of Chicago, this time, a tough inner city neighborhood,
is this black 16-year old who walks in on her mother and boyfriend in an
intimate situation. Her mother’s parental indiscretion and negligence will pave
the way for the older woman’s boyfriend to lust after the teenager. And the
girl’s greed for all that glitters does not help matters.
ERIC TURNER: For
this 23 year-old African American, it’s been a rise through thick and thin from a notorious Chicago
south-side neighborhood to become a health care professional. He however
commits some moral and legal blunders that threaten to derail everything for
which he has worked.
MARY MILLER:
Turner’s mother and his strong pillar of support. Miller struggles against all
odds and stereotypes to ensure the emancipation of her kids from a ghetto
existence. Now that her son appears to be on a downward spiral, the woman
springs into action not only to save him from going to jail but also to avoid
his relapse into a life of doldrums.
