In this comedic drama, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage gives us the story of an idyllic vacation gone awry. Sarah and David, a high-powered African-American couple, get more than they bargained for when they take an "off-the-beaten-path" tour of Africa to rediscover their roots. Heavy rains wash out the main road, leaving them stranded at a once-luxurious, now-decrepit, colonial hotel. Irritation at the inconvenience of it turns to trepidation when the seemingly mild-mannered bellhop snaps and takes hostage the hotel guests. His demands? Grain and a woolen blanket.
