A comedic action-crime reboot that balances father-son bonding with shootouts and street-level mystery, grounded in Harlem's gritty underbelly but kept buoyant by irreverent humor.

JJ, aka John Shaft Jr., may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly.
