Synopsis
Two half-brothers, Joel and Regis, called at their father's deathbed in the Antilles, receive as sole inheritance the emancipation act that freed their slave ancestors. Not caring much about the document's symbolic value, they tear it up. As punishment for this act, a mysterious aunt decides to send them back in time to experience slavery. Catapulted to 1780, they're sold on the slave market. The 2 brothers will have to join forces, not only to flee the plantation, but to find a way to get back home to the 21st century ... Back to Square One.
