In the end, Abebe must prepare to battle the personal and political forces threatening the ecology of his new home.

With cast members Keith Eric Chappelle (Cyrano de Bergerac), William Jackson Harper (Ruined), Joshua King, Kianné Muschett (The Brother/Sister Plays) and Myra Lucretia Taylor (Nine).
