Jefferson Pierce lives a double life in New Orleans' dangerous neighborhoods. He’s a devoted father and principal, building a safe space for at-risk teens amidst gang violence. But he hides a secret that could shatter everything. Driven by a fierce need to protect his daughters and his community, Jefferson must face his past and unlock hidden powers to fight the darkness threatening those he loves.
