For centuries, the Maroons in Suriname have kept capitalist society at bay. As descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped plantations, they survived by adhering to ancestral values.

In recent years, however, economic interests have penetrated deep into the rainforest.
Bootsman Boogie sails the Marowijne, the border between Suriname and French Guiana, to deliver essential cargo to remote Maroon and indigenous communities. Although these forest dwellers grow their own food, they are increasingly dependent on boatmen for their daily necessities. Climate-related floods and droughts are destroying their harvests, and gold mining is poisoning the water.
When Boogie is summoned by his clan elders to attend his cousin's lawsuit, the demands of his work begin to clash with his traditional duties. During a winding journey far upstream, the currents become increasingly unpredictable.
