Safety
Available on Disney+
In SAFETY, Ray (Jay Reeves) is a dedicated student and athlete who faced challenges while growing up -- a mom with a drug dependency, a dad who wasn't around -- but went on to earn a university scholarship. Already overwhelmed buy the demands of college life, including a full class load, punishing football practices, and a potential love interest (Corinne Foxx), Ray then finds out that his 11-year-old brother, Fahmarr, who goes by Fay (Thaddeus J. Mixson), is hanging out with drug dealers. Ray rushes home, where he discovers that his mother, Tonya (Amanda Warren), is in prison for drug possession and that Fay needs a caregiver. Ray sneaks Fay into his dorm room and plans to hide him there for a month until Tonya is released. But his plans are foiled when Fay is discovered, and Ray is called out for breaking campus rules, jeopardizing his position on the team -- and thus his scholarship. When Tonya gets a spot in a rehab center, Ray realizes that Fay will need longer-term care. To manage that, Ray is going to need a lot of assistance himself.
