It's 1967. Freedom is unfinished work.
Yote Mark is a runaway swamp shaman who carries the outlaw magic of enslaved fugitives. His traditions were shaped by flight, secrecy, and survival.
Kavita is a young woman formed by the teachings of Sister Jah, where love is practiced as discipline and community is treated as protection.
Hannibal is a feared member of the Myals, a Caribbean-born collective that values survival over mercy. When violence breaks out between them, it reveals a deeper truth that Black spiritual traditions are under threat.
When Cecil Prosperous, a preacher with vast power and little compassion, reshapes belief into obedience, descends on Oakland, Yote, Kavita, and Hannibal are forced into an uneasy alliance. They do not trust one another, but they understand what is at stake. To save their people, they must decide what community demands and what sacrifice can truly redeem.
