Decades after Haiti's devastating earthquake, the precious land and its vital resources, the people and their ability to bear children, and their religion are all held within the hands of foreign scientists and doctors. A master Vodou drummer named Innocent and his wife struggle to find their place amongst the pantheon of cultivated Vodou loas to envision a mended future Haiti. Innocent must navigate this new crossroad where science and technology and the power of ritual drumming and dancing converge, but an unrecognizable Papa Legba guards the gates.
