On the heels of the casting announcements for Jaro Media’s upcoming Alonge Hawes created series Silver & Gold, the official series synopsis and poster art have been unveiled. Plot details on the highly anticipated series had previously been kept to a minimum but as post-production has wrapped, Jaro Media has slowly begun pulling back the curtain on what promises to be Alonge Hawes’s most ambitious project to date. The synopsis for the series is as follows.
Charles Goldar and Bahiya Payne are the smoothest, sexiest, and perhaps the most industrious thieves this side of Bonnie & Clyde. There is no gem too guarded, no diamond too secure, or no amount of cash too vaulted for these two paramours to relieve from their unfortunate marks. So when they decide to team up with eccentric computer genius Cierra Valentine and stoic con man Sosa Gerena in attempts to pull off bigger and more daring heists, it seems to be a match made in bandit’s heaven. But all is not as it seems, as the sins of the past slowly begin to ransack the riches of the present; leading the group down a path of violence and vengeance amidst Atlanta’s criminal underground. When Charles and Bahiya are faced with a reckoning beyond even their own comprehension, they will come to the realization that sometimes love IS the crime…
