T.I. and Mike Epps are set to star in the Chris Robinson-directed indie comedy The Trap, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

The story is based on a script co-written by Mike Epps and tells the story of a man, played by Tip, who returns to his hometown of Atlanta to help salvage his brother and mother’s seedy restaurant with the help of a newly discovered chicken recipe.

Somehow, the recipe ends up giving the family unwarranted problems.
