Based on actual events and characters, the film's story is told by Frank Custer (Damien Leake), a southern Black migrant working on the 'kill floor' of a giant World War One Chicago slaughterhouse under the command of Foreman Harry (Dennis Farina) and struggling to earn enough to bring his wife (Alfre Woodard) and children to more freedom up north.
