The film follows Guy Miller (Quavo), a parolee trying to rebuild his life when he’s drawn back into Atlanta’s dangerous street racing underworld, according to the official description. “In a desperate bid for survival, Miller is convinced by international heist mastermind Gamal Akopyan (Zane) to pull off a high-stakes diamond heist.”
The cast also includes Serayah (Empire, BMF), LaMonica Garrett (Lioness, 1883), and Martin Sensmeier (The Magnificent Seven, 1883)
The Cannes Film Festival runs from May 13-May 24 in France. Stay tuned for details on when the film will be released here at home.
Quavo, born Quavious Marshall, is a native of Athens, Georgia. He made up one third of the now-defunct group Migos.
The rapper has a growing acting resume. Among his credits are the films Cash Out (2024), Praise This (2023), and Savage Salvation (2022).
