The film follows Noni Jean (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a musician on the verge of superstardom who's buckling under the pressure and on the verge of suicide until her emotional life is turned around by local cop Kaz (Nate Parker). Their parents urge them to put their careers before their relationship, but together they're able to break free from those controlling voices and find their own direction.
Driver will play Noni’s mother and manager, while Kelly will play Kid Culprit, a rapper on Noni’s label who she collaborates with before releasing her first solo album.
Danny Glover also stars.
Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life Of Bees) is at the helm using her own script.
Ryan Kavanaugh will produce with Stephanie Allain Bray, and Reggie Rock Bythewood.
Tucker Tooley will executive produce with Matt Alvarez
This project is not to be confused with writer-director David Mamet’s Hitchcock-style thriller “Blackbird" starring Cate Blanchett
