Tarrell (André Holland) is an admired American painter who lives with
his wife, singer Aisha (Andra Day), and their young son, Jermaine.
Tarrell's artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth,
keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an
unexpected visit from his estranged father, La'Ron (John Earl Jelks), a
conscience-stricken man desperate to reconcile. Tarrell's mother, Joyce
(Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful
spirituality, hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness,
giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La'Ron
learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving in
this raw and deeply moving film.
