In the ghettos of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Cornbread, an African-American Iraqi War veteran suffering from PTSD, holds hostage a man he has mistaken for an Arab, threatening to crucify him in retaliation for the horrors he experienced in the war.

Cornbread's ex-wife Yolanda (frayed to her own breaking point by the stress of being the lone support to their two interracial children) stumbles upon the plot. She tries to enlist the aid of Cornbread's stable, church-going brother Jim-Bo, also an Iraqi War Vet. 

As Jim-Bo ventures forth to save the man from Cornbread - and Cornbread from himself - he's confronted by a heart of darkness that reaches back generations and now threatens everyone's sanity.
