By Will Arbery
Directed by Taylor Reynolds

Nicole, Crystal and Lawrence lost their mother last year. But they still have their white dad. They love their white dad. Their white dad feels like he's made of love. One day, while they're renovating his house, they discover Dad's got a white dude in a box. This white dude in a box says he hates them. Needless to say, they don't love this white dude in a box.
