Two men clash because of a violent act. One is a rogue veteran police officer. The other is Jonah, a young inner-city crime boss who is set on reprisal for an attack on his 12-year-old little sister, Shanice. Jonah's past is a collage of hate, lies and violence. His future seems destined to follow this path, while having a life with his broken family and his longtime girlfriend, Naomi. But one fateful morning in an alley changes everything. Resonant with emotion, LIT UP is an unforgettable journey into the human soul and an unflinching testimony about one man's ultimate decision to move forward in an attempt to leave behind a city that seethes in sin and lost innocence.
