Justice Smith and David Alan Grier star in this comedy from film-maker Kobi Libii. Struggling African-American artist Aren (Smith) has been experiencing setbacks, with many being attributed to his race. When he has a chance encounter with bartender Roger (Grier), he is introduced to the American Society of Magical Negroes, an organisation set up to safeguard the world for African Americans by making the lives of white people easier. As he embarks on his new position within the Society, he puts everything and everyone in danger when he develops feelings for a client. The cast also includes An-Li Bogan, Drew Tarver and Rupert Friend.
