Woke

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

Keef grapples with the fallout from the previous day’s events while trying to put his life back in order.

Being “woke” doesn’t pay the bills. It also doesn’t save you from awkward small talk at parties thrown by rich white ladies.

Keef channels his creative energy in a provocative new way.

Keef and his friends head to an Oakland artists’ salon where he hopes to get in the good graces of the East Bay’s artistic elite.

After the events at the salon, Keef and Adrienne discuss how to move forward, Clovis helps Ayana get revenge on her ex-girlfriend, and Gunther tests the bounds of his sexual fluidity.

What should be a quick trip across town instead turns into the bus ride from Hell.

Months later, Keef thinks he's finally arrived in a better place until he's confronted with an unexpected face from the past.
