Kief Davidson directs the story of Kassim “The Dream” Ouma, a former junior middleweight boxing world champ. Kassim, born in Uganda, had been trained as a child soldier at six years old and forced to commit unspeakable atrocities until he was eighteen. Eventually, Kasim comes to the United States and tries to start a new life for himself, although the memories of his past continue to haunt him.

Kassim decides to go back to Uganda and reconnect with his family back home, but the journey home has its own obstacles. This is the story of a man who must confront his past so that he can continue on the path towards his future.
