The feature focuses on Pete, played by Staples, who after getting his dreams crushed by a rejection letter, takes off on a road trip with a band of free spirits. He soon finds out that they are in fact a band of bank robbers headed by a modern-day Robin Hood who just so happens to be on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
Staples made his acting debut back in 2015, with a minor role in Rick Famuyiwa’s Dope. The rapper has also had his music featured in projects such as Creed, Atlanta, and Marvel’s Black Panther.
