The Gods

"The Gods" is a modern day 'Romeo and Juliet', where Mikey James, a street hustler raised on the streets with his two brothers, goes to work for the Fasano family, as he desperately tries to find a way out of his hustling life style. Mikey James has always been in love with the Mob bosses beautiful daughter, Sofia Fasano. Now he begins his move to capture her heart.

Directed by Mykel Shannon Jenkins, The Gods leans on a strong ensemble — Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Stefania Spampinato, Casey Ford Alexander — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
