Peculiar Legacy

Jordan and Rahman Gaffney-Bruce, married men building a life together after a twenty-year courtship, move into the eccentric Washington neighborhood known as Slope. Built precariously on a hill, Slope is home to descendants of the Great Migration. They belong to a Black community now trapped in a cycle of spiritual depression, members clinging to one another for hope.

The Gaffney-Bruces gather with the other residents every Sunday in quiet prayer and contemplation, in hopes that their collective dreams will be realized: To be seen. To be known. To thrive-on their own terms.

The people of the neighborhood include Pops, the quiet old man who has seen it all; Miss Sandra, the matriarch and maven of Sunday dinners; Royce, one of the few good cops left; and the Gang of Four-soft-spoken Peek, angry Korey, flamboyant Ziggy, and Gino, the natural leader. When one of the youths is felled by gun violence, generations-old secrets threaten to unravel the serenity of this peculiar community.
