Shaft

Synopsis

JJ, known as John Shaft Jr., is an MIT-trained cybersecurity specialist, but when his closest friend is killed under suspicious circumstances he realizes that solving the case requires lessons no classroom ever taught him — the street smarts his father alone possesses. Absent for much of JJ’s youth, the hardened and notorious John Shaft reappears to mentor his son and guide him through Harlem’s drug-ridden streets as they search for the truth.
