As Halloween approaches in an anonymous city, Black American architect Isaiah Foster is caught between two worlds: one constituted by his profound relationship with his young daughter Maya and the other by the guilt he feels for designing a prison.
When Isaiah’s guilty conscience manifests somatically as a severe ocular irritation, a suspenseful chain of events is unleashed and Isaiah is forced to confront the traumatic truth of what he’s done by designing a prison. He jeopardizes its construction and must fend off the private prison corporation that hired him — in defense of his conscience, in defense of his daughter. In this collision of worlds, in the tension between paternal love and prison architecture, an impressionistic character portrait unfurls, a portrait structured by mythologized themes of vision, truth, and violence amidst the contemporary realities of mass incarceration.
