Dédommagé de plus de cent millions de dollars par une compagnie, Nashawn Wade décide d'investir et créer sa propre ligne aérienne. L'unique avion qu'il met en service se compose d'une piste de danse, avec musique rap et hôtesses sexy. Tout est prévu pour satisfaire une clientèle exclusivement noire à la recherche de sensations et de démesure pour un voyage qui s'annonce plus que mouvementé !

After ten years, Sheldon returns from New York City to Paris, Georgia. His mother Evelyn, a laundress who is stubborn, ornery, opinionated, mean-spirited, insulting, and inflexible, has sent a ten-year-old boy who says he's Sheldon's son up to see Sheldon. Sheldon comes home to straighten things out. Old arguments flare up - between mother and son and between brothers. Sheldon wants no part of fatherhood or family. Then, someone else from New York shows up at Evelyn's door, bringing a new set of challenges. Will this family ever stop airing its dirty laundry? And what of Sheldon: where is his pride? Can he, in the words of James Baldwin, go where his blood beats and live the life he has?
