Knucklehead
When his brother goes missing, mentally disabled Langston Bellows (Gbenga Akinnagbe) is left in Brooklyn's housing projects alone. Langston, who is now under the control of his abusive mother (Alfre Woodard), must take control of his own future. He sets out to find the one doctor he believes can cure him, a celebrity magazine columnist who promotes dubious prescription drug cocktails. If Langston can become "mentally excellent," he will be able to move into his own apartment with his girlfriend, who may be a product of his wishful thinking. The search for his mysterious doctor and hero leads him into the shady world of pharmaceutical marketing, where he makes some unwelcome discoveries. Langston strives for independence from his previous life; from his mother, from his neighborhood, and from his fractured mind-while everyone around him is not who they appear to be.
