Kevin Michaels Twist has a problem. His Newark, New Jersey neighborhood is under siege in a bloody turf war that has spun out of control. As one of the leaders of the Skulls, Twist devises a last-ditch attempt to end the war by kidnapping a high-ranking member of the rival gang with the hope of forcing them into submissions. However, his plan doesn't turn out as expected.
When negotiations deteriorate and violence escalate, the only recourse left is the execution of the hostage. As a volatile situation grows more explosive by the hour, the lines between right and wrong blur. And for Twist, resolution comes at a price.
Still Black Remains captures the struggle to realize the American Dream in a landscape filled with desperation, anger, and futility -- where the only choices are violent ones.
