Bronco

Bronco’s supernatural abilities are a blessing and a curse. Haunted by memories of World War II, he seeks to avenge the deaths of a family killed by the Klan, finding love and solace in the process. Bronco was once a Harlem gangster in the 1930s before becoming a skilled soldier with the all-Black 92nd Infantry Division, fighting the Germans in Italy in 1944. During a chaotic night, embroiled in an intense battle, Bronco fought like a one-man army and took down several German soldiers. However, he encountered a strange sight: a group of dead German soldiers wearing World War I uniforms. Bronco was the only one who could see these soldiers, as he was cursed with the ability to see the dead, along with his supernatural strength. A decade later, Bronco is suffering from PTSD and has turned to alcohol while working as a gravedigger. The bars and lounges of Harlem are his only reprieve from haunting memories. Serving as a conduit for the dead, he is soon haunted by the daughter of a Mississippi farmer killed by the KKK. Entangled in a strained war between gangsters in Harlem, Bronco reluctantly leaves the city for Mississippi to investigate the girl's death and uncovers more than he could have ever expected.
