Intvw Hailey Kilmore, David Iacono and Jeremie Harris for new film Cinnamon

A struggling small-town gas station attendant, Jodi (Tony Nominee Hailey Kilgore, "Power Book III: Raising Kanan") is an aspiring and truly gifted singer. Frustrated and stuck in a dead-end job with her dreams slipping away, Jodi meets a young hustler who quickly becomes her fiercely devoted boyfriend (David Iacono, “The Summer I Turned Pretty”). Desperate for a new life and eager to jumpstart Jodi’s singing career, they decide to commit a crime together, but their plan quickly goes sideways.



Thinking they have made it through the worst of it, Jodi and Eddie have unknowingly unleashed a spiraling chain of events that quickly makes them the target of a ruthless family run crime organization, with Jodi’s boss Wally (Damon Wayans, “Lethal Weapon”) at the center. Mama (Pam Grier, “Foxy Brown”) and her son James (Jeremie Harris, “Legion”) will stop at nothing to find out what went wrong. As James begins to uncover the truth, no one is safe and secrets begin to be revealed leading to a deadly showdown where Jodi and Eddie must answer for their crime.
