The Nowhere Man, Lukas, an ex-mercenary who is now living in a shelter, is trying to outrun his past. However, when he stops a home invasion and saves a wealthy woman, his brought back into the world he desperately tried to escape. This time, influenced by his friend Ruby, he wants to use his skills for good and right the wrongs of the world.

The Nowhere Man stars Naturi Naughton-Lewis (“Power,” “Power Book II: Ghost,” Notorious) as “Ruby,” Bonko Khoza (The Woman King) as “Lukas, Dineo Rasedile (“Blood Legacy,” “Law, Love and Betrayal”) as “Neo,” Nathan Castle (“One Piece”) as “Jonah,” Langley Kirkwood (Invictus, Dred) as “Lazarus,” and Greg Kriek (Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire, Rogue) as “Damon.”

I talked to Bonko Khoza about why Ruby is able to get through to him, how the love of a Black woman can change you, the sharing of grace and paying it forward and why everyone is jealous of Lukas. I talked to Naturi about why Ruby holds hold on to her faith despite what she has been through and how she’s attracted to characters that have similar characteristics to her.
