Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
After 14 years in prison, Gerald 'Stew Pot' Reeves, returns home to live with his mum in Parkland, a black neighbourhood on Chicago's South Side. A frightening delinquent before being put away, his return sends Parkland residents into a religiously-infused tailspin, which only increases when Stew Pot announces that he experienced a religious awakening in prison. With uncompromising fervour, Stew Pot appoints himself the moral judge of Parkland. Through unforgettable characters, Bedrock Faith provides a reflection on God, the living and dead and finding unconditional love.
Gerald "Stew Pot" Reeves returns to his mother's home in Chicago's Parkland neighborhood after fourteen years in prison. His return provokes fear and suspicion among the residents especially when he claims he has had a religious awakening. With his pit bull, John the Baptist, his mentor, Brother Crown, and a few others who believe in him, he sets off to change his neighborhood for the better.
