Two African-American teenage brothers suddenly find themselves on
their own after being mysteriously abandoned by their parents. Deeply
haunted by the mental and physical abuse inflicted by their father
(Wu-Tang Clan’s Cliff “Method Man” Smith), elder brother Daniel
(Marcus Scribner, ABC’s Black-ish) is determined to prevent their
lives from falling apart. He maintains a daily routine, works as a
dishwasher and does his best to keep a roof over their heads. Younger
brother Eli (Lonnie Chavis, NBC's This Is Us) struggles to cope with
the absence of his mother, leaving her voicemail messages in search of
answers. Embarking on a journey of survival and self-discovery, they
uncover moments of beauty, newfound meaning and enduring love that
strengthen their bond despite the uncertain road ahead. Featuring
supporting performances by Cedric the Entertainer and Michele Selene
Ang, How I Learned to Fly is a poignant story of determination and
resilience in the face of profound adversity.
