An intimate look at life in the ghetto: Johnny Williams is a house painter who moonlights as a poet struggling to financially and emotionally support his cancer-ridden wife Mattie. But times are tough and the poverty-troubled streets are even tougher and it takes every ounce of Johnny's love and courage for the couple to make it through their strife finding redemption in the River Niger.
