Overview

In the vibrant Flatbush area of New York City, Winston, a young Jamaican man, embarks on a perilous journey to seek his fortune. After a harrowing struggle to obtain a dead man's passport, he arrives in the early 1990s, only to face the harsh realities of city life. A near-death accident on a construction site forces him to reevaluate his path, and he turns to a traditional Jamaican hustle - a mobile soup kitchen to survive and support his family back in Clarendon. As Winston's soup business gains popularity, especially during the harsh winter months, he faces serious threats and predatory tactics from Loxley, a ruthless mercenary with whom he had landed the construction job. Undeterred, Winston perseveres and eventually opens his own restaurant, Scotchbonnet, serving authentic Jamaican cuisine to the city's diverse population. However, his success is threatened by the looming shadow of Immigration, treachery from the city's crooks, code enforcers and the specter of Loxley.
