 The dew breaker is a quiet man, a husband and father, a hard-working barber, a kindly landlord to the men living in a basement apartment in his home. He is a fixture in his Brookly neighbourhood, recognizable by the terrifying scar on his face. But beneath the surface of this American existence lies a dangerous truth: the brutal crimes he committed in the country of his birth. As his story unfolds, we enter the lives of those around him. And in the Haiti of the dew breaker's past, we witness his last desperate act of violence, and his first encounter with the woman who will offer him a form of redemption - albeit imperfect - that will change him for ever...
