“[Send Help is] a coming of age dark comedy series about a first generation Haitian-American trying to support his mother and niece as he pursues an acting career, struggles with the trauma of his brother’s murder, and balancing hella dysfunctional relationships,” he tweeted.
The series is still looking for a home. Once that happens, it looks like a number of stars will be ready to help out wherever needed. Jay Ellis, Broderick Hunter and many others have expressed support for this series.
