Set in the Bronx, Rashaad Ernesto Green's first feature film follows Enrique (Esai Morales), a macho ex-inmate returning home from a three-year prison sentence to find the domestic power he once enjoyed slowly leaving his grasp.
His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes), has been sleeping with someone else in his absence, and it becomes increasingly apparent that his son, Michael (Harmony Santana), is transitioning into Vanessa, a woman.
