Promise is a gritty romantic dramedy about two unlikely partners brought together by necessity. Promise, a determined single mother on the verge of deportation, crosses paths with John, an ex-con with big ambitions but no capital. Desperate for a way forward, they strike a business deal—a marriage of convenience that will secure her legal status and help him fund his dream of launching a food truck business. But as they navigate their unconventional arrangement, undeniable chemistry and deeper connections begin to surface. What starts as a transaction soon blurs the lines between business and something real. Will their partnership remain just a deal, or will it become something more? Think of it as a Black version of Pretty Woman meets The Proposal, infused with the emotional depth of Past Lives. A film that features a diverse cast with a global reach, Promise blends the charm of classic American rom-coms with the emotional depth and worldwide appeal of Korean dramedies, making it a strong global selling point. While led by a Black cast, it is a universal immigrant love story that resonates across cultures. Promise takes audiences on a journey of love, identity, and second chances.
