On a summer night in Harlem during her last months at home before starting college, seventeen-year-old poet Ayanna (Zora Howard) meets Isaiah (Joshua Boone<\/strong>), a charming music producer who has just moved to the city. It\u2019s not long before these two artistic souls are drawn together in a passionate summer romance.<\/p>\n

But as the highs of young love give way to jealousy, suspicion, and all-too-real consequences, Ayanna must confront the complexities of the adult world\u2014whether she is ready or not. Emotionally raw, intimate, and honest, PREMATURE is at once timeless and bracingly contemporary in its portrait of a young woman navigating the difficult choices that can shape a life.<\/p>\n
