KNOCK EM DEAD (2020)
It's the curtain call. Tonight, the people were so fine. They waited there in line. And when they got up on their feet, they made the show. And that was sweet. But I can hear the sound. Of slamming doors and folding chairs. And that's a sound they'll never know - oh, sorry those are the lyrics to Jackson Browne's The Load Out. Whoops. This is it. The final act. The last punchline. Fame has torn the Brice family apart. Can their love bring them back together?
Pryor has gotten a taste of what it's like to be special. To be on top. And he likes it. But after trading one spirit for another, the process of possession is beginning to take its toll on his body. Meanwhile, Ronan has stepped up as Pryor's manager and exorcist. The life that she has always wanted to live is in sight. Unfortunately, she can tell something is wrong with her brother. And when Pryor finally gets an opportunity for his first break at the big time, he and his sister must decide if another possession is worth it to take the shot.
