The play is set in modern day Canada, telling the story of the fictional Doctor Rainey Baldwin-Johnson within the factual Black community, Negro Creek, of Holland Township, Ontario.
to be a "re-visioning" of The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God, a 1932 short story by George Bernard Shaw, using Sears' own style drawn from West-African conventions of storytelling to articulate Rainey's negotiation of the loss of faith she feels after the death of her daughter.
Starting with Rainey alone, running down the street with a stiff child in her arms, the prologue begins and the voices of the chorus become the sound of splashing rain and a congregation gathered at mass.
Therefore this organization, consisting of Rainey's father and his friends, has a much more significant goal; they want to resist the attempted removal of their history, and reclaim the jacket of Juma Moore, who was granted the land of Negro Creek for his efforts in the Coloured Militia.
As they proceed with their covert mission into the museum, Rainey joins Lotsa Soap and they successfully retrieve the Coloured Corps militia jacket belonging to Juma Moore.
The Lotsa Soap members along with Michael and Rainey prepare his body and lay him to rest in his desired spot: a cemetery plot facing the creek.
