Solomon

Dominick “Dom” Darga, a once successful white male writer living in downtown Detroit, drifts through his now insular life. Still reeling from the death of his young son and the divorce that shortly followed, Dom fights to stay on the straight and narrow. Following a drunken altercation at a local bar that turned racial, Dom’s court-ordered community service leads him to meet Solomon, a retired Black psychiatrist living in one of Detroit’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Through a common interest in literature and psychology, the two men begin to form an unlikely friendship, despite the strong skepticism of Renata, Solomon’s daughter. In the meantime, Dom soon experiences a renaissance. Using Dom’s need to produce a new novel as cover, Solomon pries open Dominick's psyche, stretching him past his ideals, and introduces him to the wonders of living. Dom’s flowering enlivens the octogenarian spirit of Solomon as well. Renata takes notice and begins to warm up to Dom being around her father. Things are going great until an argument at the annual Mayor’s Gala exposes secrets that may be too powerful for Solomon, Renata, and Dom’s flowering relationships to overcome. With everything falling apart, Dominick, Solomon, and Renata must all discover what’s most important before they all lose the thing they have grown to hold most dear.
