When a young father is diagnosed with Parkinsons, he does everything to protect his relationship with his son.

Once home to sharecroppers, the Bunche Village outside of New Orleans is now made up of their suburban descents who find community at the local corner store. Both harrowing and hilarious, Lagniappe follows their day-to-day lives in this story about loving and longing.
