Robyn, a young orphan played by Dominique Fishback (Judas and the Black Messiah) is then designated to take care of Ptolemy. When they hear about a treatment that could help Ptolemy regain his memory, lost due to the illness, they begin a journey that will lead them to reveal painful truths, whether they belong to the past, present or future. ..
The rest of the cast also includes Cynthia Kaye McWilliams (Bosch), Damon Gupton (Black Lightning), Marsha Stephanie Blake (When They See Us), Walton Goggins (Justified) and Omar Miller (Ballers).
