It is an updated version of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Many of the characters in Draper's novel closely parallel those in Shakespeare's play. The plot updates the family feud between the Capulets and Montagues to reflect modern racial tensions between African-Americans and Hispanics in the United States.

Capulet, for example, when he first discovers Juliet's (faked) death, describes it as having deflowered his daughter. [43]
