Martina Batan is an eccentric NY gallery director who is haunted by the brutal murder of her brother in 1978. Martina obsessively collects the work of Roy Ferdinand, a controversial outsider artist from New Orleans whose graphic art chronicles African-American cultural identity of pre-Katrina New Orleans. The film follows Martina as she hires a private detective to solve her brother’s murder and goes on a fact-finding mission to New Orleans to meet the people and neighborhoods found in Roy’s paintings.
