Rosa's Revenge

In 1928, Edward Stratford, a Natchez
banker, accuses Noah of killing his Dad,
Alex, and his mother, Rosa  Thibedeaux,
owners of the "Missippi Catfish"
Restaurant.
Noah runs from Natchez, to Chicago, in
fear of the Klan and Mississippi's Jim
Crow hanging tree.  Edward Stratford
forecloses on the restaurant and
Thibedeaux property. Mississippi tries to
extradite Noah from Chicago.
Over thirty years later, Noah and his
daughter Sherri, return to Natchez,
believing the new 1964 Civil Rights laws
and a "dying declaration letter," will
reveal the murderer, and show Noah did
not kill his parents.
Marie Lavoe had made the prediction
something would happen at the end of
Rosa's life that would need a judgment
to set things straight.  Noah is astounded
when a poltergeist, or apparition called:  
"The ENTITY" arrives to fulfill Marie
Lavoe's prophecy of a reckoning for his
mother, Rosa.
