Synopsis

Everything is going smooth for Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo). He's about to reach a really important professional goal: he's about to formalize his investment in a pharmaceutical laboratory that has national relevance. The plan is on a roll and it looks like he has everything under control. Nonetheless, things get complicated when the businessman makes a discovery after crossing the border that separates the United States and Mexico. This changes everything for Oyelowo's character. The new situation won't allow him to come back to his previous life as if nothing had happened: the world is upside down and, no matter how bad he wants to travel in time and get back to his peaceful success, unfortunately nothing will ever go back to the way it used to be.
