What is Is God Is about?

Twin sisters Racine and Anaia — scarred as children by a fire their father set — receive a letter from their dying mother ordering them to kill the man who disfigured them. Aleshea Harris adapts her own award-winning play into a Southern Gothic revenge road trip where Kara Young and Mallori Johnson chase Sterling K. Brown's father figure across a charged American landscape, colliding with Janelle Monáe and Vivica A. Fox as scripture, rage, and dark comedy rewrite the rules of who gets to deliver justice.
