After Carlos learns that the French lady he used to play piano for is his paternal grandma, he reads in the news that his half-brother, David, has been shot dead while trying to escape prison. Carlos boards the next flight to Kigali, regretting having left his half-siblings in post-genocide Rwanda after the death of their mother.
In a quest to pay his last respects to David, Carlos discovers the intriguing world his brother, who was called Badguy by his friends, lived in. He decides to investigate the circumstances that led to David's death, but he needs the support of their half-sister, Celine, a successful model who won the Miss Rwanda competition in 2000.
