Seeking a new start, Brown, Smith, and Jones board a ship bound for the volatile world of Papa Doc's Haiti. But their personal demons soon catch up with them on the island's dark streets, where the Tonton Macoute's secret police rule with an iron fist. As their lives collide, they are forced to confront the lies they've told themselves and the haunting choices that brought them here. At the heart of it all is a struggle for meaning and redemption in a land where power and corruption have poisoned the soul.
