But when he witnesses his friend Doe's sudden murder, Tyrell decides to seek revenge. Distraught and disoriented, Tyrell blurts out his plans to his Uncle, who in the past led a life of crime before coming clean. Tyrell's Uncle tries to convince him not to make this choice, but Tyrell refuses to listen. Tyrell's Uncle reaches out to Tyrell's Mother Halle who is currently incarcerated, hoping she can use her sway with Tyrell. She wants to help, but feels unable to have any effect given her distance and at times estrangement from Tyrell. Uncle returns but Tyrell is no longer at home - he's out acquiring the gun to kill his best friend's murderer. Desperate for any information, Tyrell's Uncle reaches out to his son who used to be best friends with Tyrell and Doe. Ultimately, Tyrell realizes loyalty runs both ways and his friend who truly loved him would not want Tyrell to jeopardize his entire future. Meanwhile, Tyrell's mother, inspired by his artwork, confronts her own demons and takes steps in her own healing journey. A blend of The Wire and Shawshank Redemption, Influence weaves together spoken word poetry and magical realism to share wisdom from behind bars about what it means to heal and transform. See less
