MEET Kyle s. Berkley 

“I wrote the Wake with the goal of bringing light to so many things people in Baltimore City face. I wrote the Void, the Legacy, and the Union to take a deeper look at what challenges a mother of 4 faces when dealing with the criminal element in Baltimore City. I wanted to write a crime drama from a citizen’s perspective while highlighting mental health, trauma and exploring what freedom really means to a person from Baltimore City.”

THE LEGACY

It’s been two years since the events of The Void. Tiffany Simms is also planning to marry the love of her life, Hakeem Andrews. But the Ridgely Square community isn’t faring as well. Based on events that occurred two years ago when Tiffany’s aunt Gina and others told of what was occurring in the underbelly of their community, it has been in the midst of a gang war and major unrest. As the story unfolds, Tiffany has the honor of being interviewed in her restaurant by Anna Cartwright to discuss some of the positive things going on in Ridgely Square as well as its history. In recounting the details of historic and present-day redlining she stirs up a hornet’s nest of unimaginable proportion. The gangs turn on each other, Tiffany is seen as a snitch and she and her family become targets bringing death and destruction to her door. In stepping into territory that has not been tampered with in ages, by “outing” the gangs, crooked police and dirty politicians that have been left alone to do their dirt with no retribution. On top of all that, there’s a vigilante killer on the loose! So when murder and chaos erupt literally in Tiffany’s own backyard, who can she turn to, to right all the wrongs in her life and to help those in her community?
