Coming Of The Hurricane

Synopsis:
Reconstruction. Upon the still smoldering ground ravaged by the Civil War stands Crixus, fabled survivor of countless boxing matches-to-the-death during slavery. Now middle-ageD and a newly freed man, Crixus works as a store clerk in a small general store in Maryland, but he faces an uncertain future, unprepared for a life of freedom and haunted by restless phantoms of his past. Crixus desires only to provide as best he can for his young wife, Kazarah, who is close to delivering their first child. Crixus' inarticulateness concerning his feelings towards Kazarah threatens to drive her into the arms of Cayman, a dashing immigrant Jamaican boxer, who is younger and more prosperous. Cayman is on the eve of challenging John "the Hurricane" Blaine to a bare knuckle boxing match. "The Hurricane" is an ex-confederate soldier who has sworn to retrace the paths of famous battles of the Civil War fighting against opponents at the battle sites themselves. The projected fight between Cayman and the Hurricane is delayed enabling Cayman to challenge Crixus to a match. Crixus refuses at first but is ultimately swayed by pressure from Kazarah, who believes the money from fighting will do wonders for the future of their child. Crixus accepts, not knowing Cayman intends to throw the fight and make a killing on bets at the contest. The fight goes on as planned, and Crixus wins. His future looks bright as he is able to buy the store where he works, but soon the store is burned to the ground by vandals. an enraged Crixus sells himself for money to challenge "the Hurricane" to a fight at antietam with everything at stake.

Upstairs, watching the show is his pregnant wife who suddenly goes into labor. She finds Dady down in the bowels of the stage surrounded by other players of the underworld, still playing. He ignores her and the pleas of the gangsters to tend to her. Dady continues to play until he is accused of cheating by eclipse. When the dice are inspected and found to be loaded, Dady slashes eclipse across the chest with a razor and escapes, leaving his woman behind. Neptune, eclipse's girlfriend, finds Dady's wife, who has given birth under the steps, and slays her. Neptune brings the child to eclipse who decides to keep the child as ransom and raise it as his own. 1959. apollotis, the son of Dady is now a grown man and devoted to eclipse, his foster father. apollotis is treated as a prince of the Harlem Numbers rackets. Though now an accomplished player, apollotis is feeling the pangs of restlessness and the need to change his life, especially with the decision by eclipse to change the focus of the business from gambling to the selling of narcotics. a chance run-in with the Black Muslims and their charismatic leader only intensifies his dilemma to turn away from all he has known and take a new path. Further complicating his decision is the return of Dady Jerry, setting up a showdown on the "main drag of many tears."
