The Gospel -- A young singer turns his back on God and his father's church when tragedy strikes. He returns years later to find the once powerful congregation in disarray. With his childhood nemesis creating a 'new vision' for the church, he is forced to deal with family turmoil, career suicide, and relationship issues that send him on a collision course with redemption or destruction.

Baby Boy -- A small-time crook who has fathered two children by different women, has no job, and still lives at home with his mother, tries to turn his life around. Set in the Crenshaw district of Los Angeles, 'Baby Boy' is a very loose follow-up to director Singleton's breakthrough film, 'Boyz N The Hood.'
