A subversive film about America’s quintessential city, told through the lens of one unique family. It begins with a white man—raised as a “cousin” in a black family in 1970’s Detroit—returning home after 20 years away to find the house in ruins and his family scattered. He tracks down his cousin, Boo, who is home after two decades in prison. Together, the men unravel a tangled mess of race, belonging, violence, and love that shaped their lives.
