A melancholic, character-driven drama about an ex-activist's return home and his attempt to reconcile with the past through connection with a widow and her daughter, set against the lingering tensions of 1970s Philadelphia.

After growing up during the tumultuous 1960s, ex-Black Panther Marcus returns to his home in Philadelphia in 1976 and reconnects with Pat, the widow of a Panther leader. Marcus befriends Pat's young daughter and attempts to conquer his demons. Interfering with Marcus's good intentions are the neighborhood's continuing racial and social conflicts, as well as old enemies and friends -- both with scores to settle.
