Based on legendary street novelist Donald Goines’ book of the same name, Never Die Alone is a film noir about King David (DMX), a hard-boiled, stylish criminal who returns to his hometown seeking redemption and finding only violent death. But he did not die alone… King David’s final moments are spent with Paul (David Arquette), an aspiring journalist who knows him for just a few minutes but is changed forever by their meeting.
King David – half preacher, half Satan, and all street smarts – gives to Paul an audiotape featuring the story of his recent exploits. The tapes reveal that the cycle of violence and retribution King David’s actions spawned have come back on him full circle, as he suspected they might all along...
The novel Never Die Alone was penned in 1974 by the late African American cult writer Donald Goines shortly before his death, and was adapted for the screen by James Gibson. Goines wrote his first two books while incarcerated, and followed those with 16 novels written from the time he was released from prison in 1970 until he was shot to death in 1974.
The film is the first motion picture to be produced by Bloodline Films, DMX’s film production company.
