The film delicately unfolds the sad picture of the city of Charleston through the bitter memories, broken dreams and dull anger of Joe Watson, a neighbourhood grocer. His shop becomes, through his testimony and that of his customers, a recording chamber of the memory of a black community filled with anger against institutions (police, schools, real estate) corrupted by segregationism and racial hatred. This is where the death of Walter Scott, killed by a police officer, shown on video, gave impetus to the Black Lives Matter movement.
