CHARM CITY KINGS is produced by Caleeb Pinkett, Clarence Hammond, and Marc Bienstock and executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, and James Lassiter of Overbrook Entertainment.
Growing up in West Baltimore, teenage Mouse (JAHI DI’ALLO WINSTON) feels the fierce pull of different forces: Between notorious ex-con Blax (MEEK MILL) and concerned Detective Rivers (WILLIAM CATLETT), and between the straight path set for Mouse by his concerned mother (TEYONAH PARRIS) and the dangers of gang life, which took his brother’s life. The one truth Mouse knows is that he loves the power, artistry, and energy of “The Ride” — the exhilarating motorized-dirt-bike scene that is both a pastime and passion on the streets of Baltimore. During one eventful summer, Mouse has to steer his way through two father figures, a first girlfriend, and the illegal but irresistible thrill of stunt-riding that makes him and his friends feel like CHARM CITY KINGS.
