Jerico is the story of best friends, Jarvis Cook and Jerico Walker, living in rural Mississippi during the Jim Crow era (1944-1964). Jarvis is a hardworking man fighting hard to overcome a past tragedy and live the dreams his father couldn’t achieve. Jerico is a spontaneous and carefree jokester who regularly gets Jarvis off track, but would do anything for his friend. Together they challenge the restrictions and bias’ of Jim Crow and set out on a dangerous, but comedic journey to fulfill the lifelong dream Jarvis’ father never could. But when their car breaks down, all hell breaks loose. With all the elements of the Jim Crow south against them, including a Lynch Mob hot on their trail, Jerico makes an unlikely, yet heroic decision in an effort to save their lives and change race relations for the better.
