Overview

In a small, rustic bakery located in the heart of “Little Haiti” Miami, FL, two Haitian-American sisters grapple with grief, identity, and the complicated realities of immigrant life. Previously hit with several code violations, they prepare for the Miami Dade Health Department’s next inspection, and find themselves speeding toward an explosive culture collision. Leonide struggles to convince her sister to break tradition in the name of survival. But on this day, of all days, marking the anniversary of her husband’s murder, Maryse believes that tradition is all she has left.
