Ride Or Die

A gritty urban take on Romeo and Juliet from Essence bestseller "Solomon Jones". The classic tale of warring families and star-crossed love is retold on the streets of North Philadelphia in this hardcore adaptation on Shakespeare's drama. 17-year-old Keisha is the beautiful, sheltered daughter of an activist pastor with a checkered past. Handsome, ambitious Jamal - a street-savvy crack dealer - is the son of a North Philly drug kingpin. When Keisha's father sets his sights on driving crack from the neighbourhood he discovers that his daughter and Jamal are in love. When their families face off on opposite sides of an anti-drug demonstration, a high-ranking police official is killed in the crossfire and Jamal becomes the prime suspect in his murder. Keisha is left with a choice. Will she stay with her father, in the confines of the sheltered world she has known - or will she venture into the unknown in order to help Jamal clear his name? If she chooses Jamal, she must risk everything for love. Even her life.
