SUMMARY | Johnny Montenegro, an ICE agent, is suspended after brutally beating a man who accused him of being a traitor to his race. Johnny embarks on an odyssey as he searches for the truth about his country, his culture, and his memory. However with every answer that he finds, there is something inside of him that becomes less clear. His quest to clear his conscience leads him from strip bars to courtrooms to hospitals to morgues, as he seeks the validation he needs to continue living complicitly.
