When 11-year old, Woody Watson (Michael Rainey Jr.), leaves home to live with his grandmother in Baltimore, he soon enters the world of his Uncle Vincent (Common). With both of Woody’s parents incapacitated, Vincent, who is somewhat of an idol to Woody, takes him under his wing and shows him how to be a “man.” The further Woody follows his Uncle the more he starts to see cracks in the pavement. In this coming of age tale, he has to decide whether to follow his hero or become his own man.
