The movie Because of Charley tells the story of one fateful Friday the 13th (August 13th, 2004) – when two estranged, racially-mixed stepfamilies reluctantly gather at a Central Florida home for an anniversary party. Fully intending to keep the visit brief, the two stepfamilies hit a snag when Hurricane Charley takes an unexpected turn that changes everything. As the storm strengthens and the relatives are forced to huddle together in a cramped hallway, their bitter resentments and differences — race, age, faith, gender, sexual orientation — come to a boil.
John Amos, (Coming To America, TV’s Good Times) stars in Because of Charley.
