In search of a better life, he travels to England, inspired by the promise of opportunity and work. However, upon arriving, Clifford discovers that the reality of England is far from the idyllic vision he had been led to believe. The racial tensions of the time escalate, and as attacks against people of color intensify, Clifford finds himself embroiled in the Notting Hill Riots of 1958—the first West Indian defense carried out in Britain.
