Rebel Ridge stars Aaron Pierre, a talented British actor known for his roles in Old, The Underground Railroad, and The A Word. Terry is trying to bail out his cousin, but the police unfairly take his money. In his quest to retrieve it, he uncovers a perilous corruption network that endangers not just his life but also those who assist him.
