When the winds of change confront you, adjust your sails.
In the year 2032, Black Americans have a choice: stay and suffer or leave to find a better life. The question is where can they go so that this country can be their kind of country, one where they are truly free of oppression and tyranny. Can they still be "American" in this new land and bring the worst of America with them; the America they grew up under with psychological shackles from decades of abuse and second-class citizenship; to constantly have their dreams deferred?
Follow the assignment of a man and his wife to discover such a place, to see if they can be welcomed as people worthy of dignity and respect or will they find the Paradise Lost there instead?
