Tommy Egan may be moving to the Big Apple to try to restart his life in the Windy City. However, that doesn’t mean that he has been able to forget the problems of his past.
This is if the trailer for the upcoming spin-off Power Book IV: Force is any indication.
Courtney A Kemp and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson executive produced the show. The new show features Tommy moving to Chicago after losing Ghost, LaKeisha, and the only place he has ever known.
He leaves New York City and makes a quick stop to close the chapter that has been haunting his life for years. But, the trailer shows that Tommy (Joseph Sikora), instead gets entangled in a web full of long-buried family secrets, lies, and deceit.
“One step leads into another, and Tommy quickly finds his way in Chicago’s drugs game, inserting him between two of the city’s biggest crews,” continues the synopsis.
Tommy Egan crosses the line in a city divided by race and becomes the lynchpin, unifying them all, while also holding the power for them to crumble. The first season unfolds at breakneck pace. Tommy uses his outsider status in order to his advantage. He breaks all local rules and rewrites them on his quest for the largest drug dealer in Chicago.
The character says, “I ain’t work for anyone, I’m a free agent,” in the video. “I’m here to make money and move. I haven’t been here long enough to make enemies.
He admits that he has three enemies, and a montage shows him fighting with several of his adversaries. “Three enemies but that’s it.”
The supporting cast includes: Isaac Keys (Get Shorty), Lili Simons (Banshee), Gabrielle Ryan(Bonding), Shane Harper, Shane Harper (A Teacher), Kris D. Lofton (“Empire”), Anthony Fleming III (“Prison Break”) Lucien Cambric “The Chi” and Tommy Flanagan (“Sons of Anarchy”)
“What you can expect on this show is a lot of the same Tommy,” Sikora teased previously as part of an Instagram live. He has nothing. Remember, he left New York without anything. He went home with some money, some guns and some burners. He had everything on him.
The outing picks up just after the events at Power‘s final. Tommy is trying to “rebuild” himself in Chicago in real time.
Sikora stated Entertainment Weekly, “They’ve certainly given Tommy a very rapid trajectory towards [the inroads] of [the city].” “So my job it to make sense of all that and to be the force of nature (pardon the pun) that Tommy is, that’s what I do.”
