In a decaying Los Angeles torn by violence, corruption, and despair, a tormented ex-gang member reappears as a self-proclaimed prophet—igniting a spiritual uprising among the forgotten, while the city’s power structure tries to silence him at all costs.
SYNOPSIS:
Enoch—mid-30s, rugged, tattooed, and burning with purpose—was presumed dead after vanishing during a prison riot ten years ago. Now he walks the streets of L.A. under a new name: The Street God. Clad in rags, speaking in riddles, and carrying a Bible marked with blood and ash, he begins preaching to the homeless, the addicts, the lost souls of Skid Row and South Central.
What starts as whispered rumors and strange miracles—an overdose reversed, a bullet that vanishes mid-air—becomes a movement. Word spreads. Videos go viral. Crowds gather in Elysian Park and beneath freeway overpasses, where he preaches about redemption, fire, and the end of an empire built on sin.
But not everyone is convinced. Detective Mara Velasquez, a rising star in the LAPD, sees him as a dangerous cult figure exploiting the weak. As tensions rise and riots spark in his name, Mara digs into his past—and discovers a deeper truth that threatens her own beliefs. Enoch may be crazy. Or divine. Or both.
Meanwhile, city leaders—media moguls, gang shot-callers, even pastors—band together to stop the chaos. Assassination attempts fail. Enoch keeps coming. And every time he bleeds, more people believe.
Dramatic Hooks & Themes:
Flawed Messiah: Enoch is not a saint—he is violent, conflicted, and possibly delusional. But his message resonates in a city begging for hope.
Spiritual vs. Systemic War: The story pits prophetic power against institutional decay—police, politics, and organized religion all threatened by one man’s faith.
Moral Duel: Mara and Enoch mirror each other—both want justice, but through radically different means. Their cat-and-mouse evolves into a spiritual confrontation.
Urban Prophecy: Set in real L.A. locations—underpasses, tent cities, abandoned churches—the film blends gritty realism with supernatural ambiguity.
Climactic Reckoning: A mass gathering at Elysian Park becomes the ultimate test of belief, fear, and control—broadcast live across the city.
Why It Works: Street GOD is a bold, provocative thriller rooted in our collective hunger for meaning in a fractured world. It fuses spiritual allegory with urban realism, offering a fresh archetype: the vigilante prophet. With minimal VFX, real-world locations, and a high-concept hook, it’s a low-to-mid-budget feature with franchise potential, ideal for visionary filmmakers and socially conscious studios. Think Uncut Gems with miracles—or John Wick with scripture.
