What Is Beware About?

The premise of Beware without spoilers.

Ware College, once a thriving Black school, now faces low enrollment and funding. CEO Benjamin Ware III claims the founder’s estate is bankrupt, a story they think stems from Annabelle rejecting his advances. They plan an alumni reunion to raise money. Among the invitees is Lucius Jordan, a shy former student who left after a clash with Ware; now Louis Jordan, king of swing with the Tympani Band, he returns to help his alma mater.
