Based on the inspiring true story of Melony Armstrong, a mother who works at a shelter for battered women then decides to start a natural hair braiding business to achieve financial independence for herself and others. To do so, she has to overcome unexpected obstacles imposed by a powerful cartel and the State of Mississippi.

Inspired by true events, 96 Minutes is the story of four teenagers and the events that unfold over one terrifying night. Told in real time, the film cuts between a disastrous carjacking at the end of the day and the seemingly unconnected events leading up to it. Four kids. One night. One shocking act of violence that slams them headlong into each other.
