Starring TaJa Brittaney and Marlon Ladd the movie weaves a story into the harsh realities of survival amidst urban gentrification and racial tensions. The story follows Keisha and Aiden, a couple dealing with racism in their new community after fleeing urban gentrification. The film resonates with the struggles individuals face in unfamiliar territories, with Keisha's journey from prey to a formidable force against racists providing a gripping focal point. TaJa Brittaney's performance as Keisha showcases her inner strength in the face of adversity. Marlon Ladd adds depth with his portrayal of Aiden. The chemistry between the two leads make the characters relatable and engaging. I really enjoyed this movie.

This film hits on a lot of topics that most in the filmmakers wouldn't dare touch. So let's start with the good about this movie. First off, acting is quite good. Leads are both excellent. Tara Brittney's character had me yelling at the screen! Marlon Ladd, as Aiden was sympathetic in his role, despite his character's questionable actions. Not typical for most Indies that I have seen. It's a relief to see confident actors doing their roles well. When the film started using the N-word, stereotyping, and dropping F bombs all over the place, I knew that these filmmakers were looking to raise a few hackles with the story they were telling. P. C. This is not. There was a lot packed into the film, which is snappy in its runtime as well. The story itself went off into several different directions, and sometimes those directions didn't meet up, but there's enough.

This was an interesting film led by great acting performances from the entire cast. The main actress did a spectacular job bringing the character, Kesha, to life and making her believable. There were moments where her character took unexpected turns, but her performance combined with strongly written dialogue helped things make sense. I found myself caring about Kesha and Aiden's journey, which kept me engaged the entire film. I was also curious how all the characters and circumstances would end up tying together. I was left with a few questions, but appreciated the ride. Overall this was a well shot, well done independent film.

This movie is about a young black couple trying the leave the hood behind in search of a more upscale setting. However, once moved they are targeted by some low life white racists who don't want them in their neighbourhood. And so a fight for survival begins, where our leads determination and survival instincts are put to the test. With a running time of 73 minutes this film is compact enough to keep us entertained. Marlon Ladd's charisma helps with the pacing and Taja Brittaney's ferocity sells the plot. If you are looking for a good survival movie with plenty of action and good performances, give this indie gem a go.
