LOGLINE: After a Black biracial boxer flees from New York to Hawaiʻi, a friendship with his native Hawaiian coach expands his awareness of identity, purpose, and power. TRT: 12:37 Created on the island of Oʻahu Hawaiʻi. Directorial debut of Daniel Croix (Tyler Perry's The Oval on BET, Manhunt on Apple TV+) SYNOPSIS: Sol ran away from New York to Hawaiʻi to start a new life. A period of heightened racial violence across the US led him to seek a new "home." He’s a hyper-driven escapist - training as a boxer, living out of his car, and leading with the stereotypical "American dream" of opulent wealth. While well intended, Sol lacks balance, restraint, and awareness. 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.
