Set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the story revolves around twin brothers Joshua and Christophe, navigating the challenges of adulthood in rural Bois Sauvage. While Joshua secures a job, Christophe succumbs to drug dealing and addiction, exacerbated by their parents' return—Cille, seeking a better life, and Sandman, a dangerous addict. This poignant tale explores themes of fraternal love, poverty, and addiction's impact on family dynamics, all vividly portrayed through the setting that reflects both beauty and despair.
