Suspense | Thriller

American Matt Reiser travels to The Ivory Coast on a mission to locate his estranged son. His only guide is a three–year old postal address. Fighting cultural vertigo and disorientation at the Abidjan airport, Matt relies on a glib and persistent limo driver who speaks just enough English to gain his trust.

The next morning, Matt wakes up drugged, robbed, and dropped into a grim city slum. Without ID, without money, and with no idea where to turn, Matt forges unlikely alliances that take him on a perilous journey out of the city and through the backcountry, where he fights on to continue his search.

Along the way, Matt confronts his life choices that launched him on this search. When he finds his son in an isolated desert village, he must face the consequences of those choices.
