Nan: The Game of Trife

In the city that never sleeps, Nathan “Nan” Jones, a young man that never slept, had just survived a vicious assassination attempt on his life. His execution was sanctioned by the criminal underworld, in an elaborate plot to be carried out by a corrupt group of bloodthirsty NYPD killer cops. Even though Nan barely lived through the attack by the skin of his teeth, everything that meant something to him was stolen away in less than a New York minute. He had survived—but, his mere existence may only be short lived. A massive manhunt has ensued, and the word has been put out on the streets to bring Nan in dead or alive. The clock is ticking, and he’s living on borrowed time.

On the same cold streets of Brooklyn, Jada Dupri, a Black girl lost, searches for some meaning to her convoluted life. She yearns to find the father she has never known, to develop a relationship with her mother that she has never had and to feel the unconditional love that she so desperately needs.

Even though these two individuals will never meet, and their paths will only cross on one fateful night, the critical decisions they both make will greatly impact the lives of one another.

After all, just like you and me, they are both merely pieces in the Game of Trife.

A Black girl lost, a young man’s pain, a grandmother’s guilt, a fugitive on the run…

Choose your piece, roll the dice and let the game begin.
