“The actions of the past have followed him home.”

After escaping the self-destructive grip of street life, Jamaal embraces metaphysics  and finds his footing in the world as a black entrepreneur, with his guiding light, Samaya, at his side. But the past  refuses to die quietly. Supreme - a childhood comrade, incarcerated for murder is set free. Bringing a brutal prison war into his once tranquil life, that leaves Jamaal  confronted by the choice of loyalty to his past, or his own spiritual redemption.” 

Adapted from the best-selling novel "Necessary Evil" by Kareem (INF) Hayes, this potent tale of violence, spirituality, and brotherhood comes to life under the award winning direction of Jamal Hodge.
