The two hour orginal BET movie starring Larenz Tate premiered on wednesday July 2nd at 9:00 PM EST/8PM CST. Written and directed by Reggie Rock Bythewood (Get on the Bus, Biker Boyz, “A Different World”), the addictive drama also stars Emayatzy Corinealdi (The Middle of Nowhere), Aisha Hinds (CBS’ “Under the Dome”), and veteran actress Phyllis Yvonne Stickney.

Set in the mean streets of New York, this smart, gritty two-hour movie event’s story plot goes something like this: Larenz Tate stars as Bird and Trane, identical twins on separate sides of the law. Trane is an undercover agent with a secret task force. Bird is a recently freed convict who plays by a different set of rules. However, when Trane is murdered, Bird assumes his brother’s identity seeking his brother’s murderer and a second chance at life. Grappling with morality, fatherhood and love, Gun Hill asks this question: Can someone who is unredeemable become redeemed?
