More about HIM
Former college wide-receiver TYRIQ WITHERS (Atlanta, I Know What You Did Last
Summer) plays Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and
identity, to football. As the professional football’s annual scouting Combine approaches, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.
Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (MARLON WAYANS), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural
megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity
influencer wife, Elsie White (JULIA FOX; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move).
But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.
