Chapter and Verse

Upon his return from serving eight years in prison, reformed gang leader S.Lance Ingram struggles to adapt to a changed Harlem. Lance lives under the tough supervision of a Parole Officer in a Half Way House. Unable to find a job with the computer tech training he received in Prison, Lance is forced to take a deliveryman job in a food pantry. It is thus that he meets and is befriended by Ms. Maddy, a 60 year old strong and spirited grandmother. Lance assumes responsibility for Ty’s well being, Ms Maddy’s 15 year old grandson – a promising student and artist who has become involved in a dangerous Harlem Street Gang. Lance tries to make peace with G-Rod, the charismatic Gang Leader and makes a deal to let Ty walk away. But when Gang Members decide to punish Ty for disobeying the “law of the streets”, Lance decides to sacrifice his “second chance” at freedom so that Ty can have a “first chance” at a better life.
