LOGLINE: After a boxer relocates from New York to Hawaiʻi, a friendship with his coach expands his awareness of ancestral connection, purpose, and power. TRT: 12:50
Created on the island of Oʻahu Hawaiʻi. Directorial debut of Daniel Croix (Tyler Perry's The Oval on BET, Manhunt on Apple TV+, Love Victor on Hulu)
SYNOPSIS: Sol relocated from New York to Hawaiʻi to start a new life. During a period of heightened radicalized violence on the US continent, he seeks a new "home." He’s a hyper-driven escapist - training as a boxer, living out of his car, and seeking the "American dream" of opulent wealth. While well intended, Sol lacks balance, restraint, and roots.
When a hot-shot boxing manager comes to Honolulu to scout his next star, Sol knows it’s his chance to prove himself. He trains with his friend, Elijah. To win, he needs to face what’s been holding him back: a disconnection to his roots, and unprocessed intergenerational trauma. Sol’s friendship with Elijah may lead him toward an awakening of deeper connection with his ancestors…and perhaps with himself.
