Never and Again tells the story of old flames Jasmine and Kevin who fell in love as teens however through the various challenges life and youth presented they were torn apart only to be reunited by happenstance as adults. Kevin is transitioning from a career as a professional athlete to an agent while Jasmine is starting a position as a physical therapist in her hometown. Their careers and their return home ultimately reintroduce the former couple to one another and opens the door to new possibilities in love.
The church and the concept of faith also play a role in the storytelling process. Viewers will see the significance of it while watching the two characters evolve within the space and each other.
The film shows the beauty of Black love and culture in a time that feels filled with Black pain and highlights the possibilities within second chances.
