The film stars Jacob Latimore as Langston Cobbs, a young man who is very much a momma’s boy, but probably only because she seems to be all he has had for a long time. Said mother, Naima (played by Jennifer Hudson), is a single mother who faces financial struggles due to the city laying her off and, due to that, her home in foreclosure. So, with her being put out around Christmas, she sends her son off to her estranged parents: Reverend Cornell Cobbs (played by Forest Whitaker) and Angela Cobbs (played by Angela Bassett). On his way, he runs into a man named Tyson (played by Tyrese Gibson), a local hoodlum who, when Langston is at a fork in the road, presents the option of no return as opposed to the way of his grandparents.
