Adapted from the award-winning TV pilot "The Kingfish," "The Kingfish 2" continues the story of Bobby, Flip, and X, adventurous high schoolers from Philadelphia who venture into a rugged section of North Philly in pursuit of a mysterious item. Along the way, they encounter threatening adversaries presenting challenges the trio must overcome using their wit, imagination, and a bit of luck. Amidst love interests, laughter, and a fierce lightsaber battle, they face off against the menacing gangster Kingfish.
The film features a remarkable music soundtrack, which is to be expected given that the screenplay was written by music producer and best-selling author Tab Edwards-who has written and produced songs for Grammy Award-winning singer Jazmine Sullivan and hit recording artist Josephine Sincere; she makes her long-awaited return to the music scene in the film, performing her new single. The film introduces a new group Penny Cupcake, and features music by popular Philly artists Jazmine Sullivan, Ital Tha Ruffian, Ruggedness, Black Key Beats, and others.
