At a small New York theatre, an ageing magician comes up with a devilish plan to save his piece of old New York by invoking some real black magic. Harsh realities and fantastic illusions come together in BLACK MAGIC FOR WHITE BOYS, Onur Tukel’s latest film, a bizarre comic adventure about gentrification, race and bodily autonomy in New York City. With over 50 minutes of new footage, Tukel has completely reworked a project initially presented in 2017 as a four-episode series at Tribeca into a gnarly and charmingly weird dark comedy. Balancing edgy misanthropy with a strain of silly sweetness, this is an intimate low-budget parable about the changing face of New York City.

A detective who lost everything that he loves. A gang member who was a product of the school to prison pipeline and seeks redemption from his past. Two men from different sides of the law set out to take revenge on a common enemy when they unknowingly run into each other. They embark on a road trip for revenge challenging the idea of forgiveness once realizing the other is not who they seem to be.
