Stophe Michael Presents Blind Ten

There’s a universal saying amongst the masses based off the card game poker when dealing with the game of life. You may have heard of a few of the more popular ones like “you got to know when to hold em, and know when to fold em”. But Blind Ten is not your tradition all American story, and not for the faint of heart. In the streets of Detroit, we do things a little different in the game of life and prefer to play by the rules of the card game Spades. Blind Ten’s main character Fat Bread, was brought up under the hustlers code of always playing your best card to protect your partner, and always leading with trumps to protect the team when you are behind on books and bid a blind ten. By having two parents in the house and having just enough more than his peers positioned him a few steps above the bottom of the barrow, which comes along with fighting the intense gravity of the streets to pull him back down to ground zero. Strap on your seatbelts and hold on for a ride with many twists and turns of humor, romance, street politics, betrayal, and brutality. Witness the dark underside of Detroit in its hay day of the 80’s and 90’s throughout this coming of age story graphically journaled through Stophe Michael’s masterpiece Blind Ten.
