Synopsis
An island: Saint Martin, a town: Marigot.
Two quarters separated by a bridge. On one side, opulence and 4-star hotels, on the other, a modest and mainly black population of Saint-Martin residents.
A cyclone will upset the fragile balance of this island and wipe the slate clean.
Sweep everything away and give its inhabitants hope for a new deal. Faced with this adversity, two men make a promise to each other.
To help each other out.
