Teyana Taylor in A Thousand and One, a mother-son love story, is coming soon!

A Thousand and One follows an unapologetic and free-spirited single mother, Inez (Teyana Taylor), after she is released from jail and returns home to New York. Upon her return, Inez finds out that her six-year-old son Terry has been placed in New York’s foster care system.

Unable to accept the separation from her son, Inez kidnaps Terry from the foster care system. The drama will focus on how the mother and son hold on to their secret and fight for each other as they set out to reclaim their sense of home, and find their identity and stability.

The upcoming drama promises an emotional ride for viewers with heartwarming scenes of the mother and son as they try to reconnect as a family. However, the drama will not focus only on Inez’s relationship with six-year-old Terry, but also on her relationship with Terry as he grows older with the threat of their secret being exposed.

A Thousand and One is written and directed by A.V. Rockwell. The film is Rockwell’s feature film debut, and despite being the director’s debut film, A Thousand and One won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
