Suggested for mature audiences.
When 18-year-old Dontrell Jones decides to voyage into the Atlantic Ocean in search of an ancestor lost during the Middle Passage, his family struggles with the thought of losing its prized son to the waters of a mysterious past. Blending wordplay, humor, and ritual, this rhythmic journey is a present-day hero’s quest to explore the depths we must go to rewrite history’s wrongs.
