Joseph (Patrick Rameau) is a Haitian refuge who moves to New York after spending seven years in a jail in his country. One day, while walking the streets of Gotham, Joseph believes he sees the man who tortured him, and he becomes obsessed with exacting vengeance. He discovers that his new homeland has as many dangers as the oppressive existence he endured before fleeing Haiti.
