The Righteous

JERRIN is a white supremacist who is a member of a violent,
hateful gang known as the WHITE WOLVES. He believes the
sinister rhetoric of SCOTT who is the leader of the gang. One
night the gang bumps into some of their enemies on the streets
of Savannah by a chance encounter. A bloody fight ensues and
the police arrive on the scene.

Jerrin is injured during the melee and is unable to outrun the
cops. He is the only member of the gang who is apprehend. He
refuses to cooperate with the police and is sent to a dangerous,
maximum-security prison. Inside the walls of this penitentiary,
Jerrin goes through a formative transformation.

His cell mate ROY opens his eyes to the evils of racism. Jerrin
also starts to question his allegiance to Scott and the gang.
While Jerrin is doing hard time, the White Wolves launch a
horrific attack against The New Black Panther Party in Atlanta.
Several African American inmates inside the prison get wind of
the attack on the Black Panthers and are furious. The black
inmates believe Jerrin may have had prior knowledge of the
onslaught and beat him to a pulp. He is placed in solitary
confinement for his own protection and this is where the
transition begins to blossom into a life of its own.

While locked in solitary, Jerrin reads books written by Martin
Luther King Jr, Malcolm X and other historical black figures.

Jerrin’s mother TAMMY is a Christian and prays her son will
someday see the light and leave the gang. She visits him at the
prison and is pleased to see that he now denounces racism and
embraces people of all colors.

After being released from prison, Jerrin pays Scott and several
other members of the Wolves a visit and tells them he is out for
good. This leads to him being the victim of yet another
senseless beating.

While working at a car wash, Jerrin meets a man named
WARREN who is connected with the Black Panthers. Jerrin tells
Warren that he can get the Panthers revenge. A meeting is set
up and Jerrin meets ALPHONSO who is the leader of the New
Black Panthers. Jerrin and the Panthers retaliate against the
White Wolves and kill them all.

Jerrin becomes an honorary member of the Black Panthers.
However, the hate in his heart still runs deep. On his way to a
liquor store he observes five white police officers harassing a
young black teenager. Jerrin retrieves his AR 15 Rifle from his
car and kills all five of the cops.

He is sentenced to death for this heinous crime. While awaiting
execution, Jerrin finally learns life’s most important lesson; that
any kind of hatred is wrong. He is remorseful of all the
malicious acts that he has committed against his fellow
humans. Tammy’s wish has finally been granted. Jerrin rejects

animosity towards all human beings and embraces love.
Ironically this has come at an enormous price.

On the night Jerrin is put to death, he offers a sincere apology
to the victim’s family members and his mother. It took death
for a complicated man to find peace of mind and finally
conquer his demons.
