Synopsis

Having spent years apart since the death of their parents, twin brothers Teshawn (Billoah Greene) and Wesley Tucker (Darien Sills-Evans) are as diverse as twin brothers could be. Wes is a minister in a Harlem gospel church while Te perpetrates the gangster lifestyle as hip-hop star Zulu. However when Te is forced to seek refuge from his enraged record producer Bull Sharky (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) he retreats to his childhood home in Harlem attempting to mingle with his brother's community.

While Bull Sharky and his gang close in on Te, Te becomes more immersed in the community especially the failing church choir. Comforted by his Aunt June (Novella Nelson) who has a musical past he starts to fall for Kia (Janine Green) a lovely church goer with her fingers on the pulse...
