An uncertified African immigrant Doctor secretly cures the seven year old son of a rich American couple suffering from brain cancer in a Manhattan New York Hospital, and refuses to reveal the source of the miracle cure. He is therefore jailed for medical malpractice and develops brain tumor himself with only a few weeks to live. The African-American head of the Oncology Ward risks everything to search for the miracle cure in Africa after he is suspended for his part in the hospital protocol breach and abandoned by his bourgeois wife.
