Upcoming Release of “Clean Slate” on Prime Video

One of the last projects from producer Norman Lear is set to debut on Prime Video next month.

Synopsis of “Clean Slate”

“Clean Slate,” featuring Laverne Cox and George Wallace, tells the story of a father and daughter striving to mend their relationship after more than twenty years of silence. Wallace portrays Harry, a traditional and outspoken car wash owner from the South, who must quickly adapt to his daughter’s identity when his estranged child, Desiree (Cox), a proud trans woman, unexpectedly arrives at his home in Mobile, Alabama.

Desiree’s Journey and Relationships

What begins as a brief visit for Desiree evolves into a longer stay when the art gallery she managed in New York City loses its funding, leading her to move in with her father. Alongside her relationship with Harry, Desiree faces challenges related to her identity, which stirs gossip within the church community and creates tension with her closeted best friend Louis (D.K. Uzoukwu), the choir director. Additionally, a potential romance blossoms as Mack (Jay Wilkison), Harry’s right-hand man at the car wash, is immediately drawn to her, as is his daughter Opal (Norah Murphy), who dreams of escaping Mobile to pursue her aspirations in the big city, much like Desiree.

Harry’s Personal Growth

Harry also contemplates a romantic connection as he grows closer to Louis’ mother, Ella (Telma Hopkins). Meanwhile, he continues to have a rivalry with his neighbor Miguel (Philip Garcia), which threatens to escalate until the very end.
