NBC Chicago's Regina Waldroup reported the story that inspired the movie in November, detailing how a bakery owner on Chicago's South Shore reconnected with her biological son in an unbelievable way.
Lindsey and Hunter say they began getting calls about turning their reunion story into a movie days after NBC Chicago's coverage aired but they were holding out for a call from Tyler Perry.
The award-winning director, producer and actor came through with an offer: turning their story into a Netflix original drama.
Oscar winner Taraji P. Henson will star in the movie as Lindsey and rapper and actor Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott (Joey Bada$$) as Hunter. Angela Davis, Russel Hornsby and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor are also among the stacked cast.
