In 1976, after years of mysterious absence, Marcus (Anthony Mackie, THE HURT LOCKER) returns to the Philadelphia neighborhood where he came of age in the midst of the Black Power movement. While his arrival raises suspicion among his family and former neighbors, he finds acceptance from his old friend Patricia (Kerry Washington, RAY, LIFT) and her daughter. However, Marcus quickly finds himself at odds with the organization he once embraced, whose members suspect he orchestrated the slaying of their former comrade-in-arms. In a startling sequence of events, Marcus must protect a secret that could shatter everyone’s beliefs as he rediscovers his forbidden passion for Patricia.

“MESMERIZING. Mackie and Washington couldn’t be better. Tanya Hamilton”s first feature is something to cherish. REMEMBER HER NAME. SHE’S A GENUINE FIND.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“A STRIKING FILM. The rare American-independent film to go beyond the private dramas of its protagonists, imagining them as players in broader historical moments. Anthony Mackie is mesmerizing.” – Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
