Synopsis

G is a contemporary African-American romance inspired by the classic F Scott Fitzgerald story The Great Gatsby.

Set amidst the grandeur of the ultra elite Hamptons, G follows self-made millionaire and rap mogul Summer G (Richard T Jones) on a quest to regain the object of his desire, Sky Hightower (Chenoa Maxwell), now married to a wealthy and philandering Wall Street dealer Chip Hightower (Blair Underwood). Summer G would give up all his wealth to re-ignite his romance with this one true love.

Urban music journalist Tre (Andre Royo), spends his summer researching the lifestyle of Summer G for an article he's writing and without malice or intent Tre brings these lovers together but in the process pulls their worlds apart.
