Duke (Malik Oliver), a writer struggling with motivation after publishing his latest book, begins living as a bike-riding, cigarette-smoking hermit in his native home city of Washington, DC in search of meaning. With the help of a striking local woman he meets in a chance encounter (Daria Paschall) and visions of supernatural angels (Bersabel Ephrem) and demons (Atlas Kazan), Duke navigates his creative destiny in a unique American city whose local community of mostly Black Americans goes underrepresented in pop culture.
