KING OF NEWARK 2 (2018) continues the trials and tribulations of the Malcolm Graves character (Alonzo Herran Jr.) from the feature films Living With No Regrets (2013), and King of Newark (2016). While serving as Mayor, Malcolm is now recovering from an assassination attempt. His personal and professional life now spiral out of control. His son Elijah wants to test his manhood and starts to follow the wrong crowd, but his new found friends have a hidden agenda. At the same time Malcolm's brother Drew tries to start a drug trade that ends up in a bloody mess with local mobsters. In addition, Malcolm's wife Miasha wants out of their loveless marriage. Malcolm is stuck between a rock and a hard place and is now forced to get his hands dirty again on the dark side of the streets. Will he survive this intense go-around or will he be the cause of his family and friends' demise, and maybe his own?

After a long, work-related separation, two young martial artists go on a much needed romantic date, but their night turns deadly when they must contend with a junior monk who is bent on revenge for the death of his steroid-dealing brother.

The movie is about a character named Malcolm Graves, an adult black man who was a Mayor's aide, running for Mayor of the great city of Newark and focusing on raising his pre­teen son. His past tries to come back and haunt him through his journey through adulthood, the heart aches, and the head aches that come with the difficult decisions in life when you are trying to stay on the right path. The movie illustrates consequences, both from right and wrong decisions, trust, loyalty, lies, violence and triumph. The movie is truly inspirational and focused on strength and overcoming the daily struggle of life.
