Incarcerated at 15 years old, Ricardo Smith (Ricky for short) is now 30, and the 15 years passed have left him forced into adulthood, but without the milestones to help inform his choices.

Ricky follows Ricardo “Ricky” portrayed by Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk) in a career-best performance as a 30-year-old Black man reemerging from prison after serving 15 years.
