BEYOND THE LIGHTS

Let go, open your heart, find your voice!

Plot:
“The story of Noni Jean (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a hot new award-winning artist who is primed for superstardom. But not all is what it seems,and the pressures cause Noni to nearly fall apart – until she meets Kaz Nicol (Nate Parker), a promising young cop and aspiring politician who’s been assigned to her detail. Drawn to each other, Noni and Kaz fall fast and hard, despite the protests of those around them to put their career ambitions ahead of their romance. But can Kaz’s love give Noni the courage to find her own voice and break free to become the artist she was meant to be?”

Don’t really know how one should pronounce her name, but Gugu Mbatha-Raw is damn sexy!
