On the eve of their Grandfather’s funeral brothers Earl and Antoine are tasked with delivering his mason ring to the funeral home. Their Grandmother has bestowed them with this sacred mission. To the boys this will certainly ensure older brother Earl inherits Grandfather’s sweet Cadillac. At the funeral home they’re met by Nathaniel, a mysterious night security guard who tests them on how well they knew their grandfather and what being a Freemason meant to him as a Black man.
