The impossibly true story of gifted musician Midnite. This action series encompasses a journey of music,
sex, slavery, murder, and injustice in an America few are aware ever existed.
Set in the seventies, this action series is based on the novel “Midnite’s Journey,” written by Dana Silkiss.
Throughout a shocking series of events depicting racism, prejudice and slavery we also witness what has
cultivated Midnite’s belief in justice and honor. Even while enduring the depths of depravity and torture,
Midnite forces his mind to reflect on the myriad of events that made him the caring young man he has
become. Midnite is an unforgettable character with a passion for music, loyalty to his friends and
unwavering determination to see that justice is served.
