Overview
IAN(18) was a star athlete as a kid. Growing up at home with his notoriously racist father, leaves Ian in limbo between right and wrong. Across town two rival choir members Sister GERTY CHISOLM (50) and Brother Tertullus T.J. Junior (30) are having a heated debate over the family and friends day church celebration. Their argument gives REV. DEONTE STREET(40) the topic for the celebration's sermon. Later that night the sermon given by the Rev. Deonte Street, who's an old acquaintance of Ian's from childhood; leaves Ian conflicted in carrying out his sinister premeditated plot.
