Making his feature-film debut as actor and writer, Daniel Beaty stars as a reformed gang leader trying to make a better life for himself in the urban drama Chapter & Verse.

Daniel Beaty and Omari Hardwick in Chapter & Verse

After serving eight years in prison, reformed gang leader S. Lance Ingram (Beaty) reenters society and struggles to adapt to a changed Harlem. Living under the tough supervision of a parole officer in a halfway house, and unable to find a job that will let him use the technological skills he gained in prison, Lance is forced to take a job delivering for a food pantry. He befriends Ms. Maddy (Loretta Devine, For Colored Girls), a strong and spirited grandmother, and assumes responsibility for her 15-year-old grandson, Ty, a promising student who is pulled into a dangerous street gang. When gang members decide to punish Ty for disobeying the law of the streets, Lance risks sacrificing his second chance at freedom so that Ty can have a first chance at a better life.

The film was co-written and directed by Jamal Joseph.
