The video takes us into a world where classic Motown styles meet the campy horror films of the past. Leading lady Lischelle Brown plays a spurned lover on a mission to get her man (Lance Ellis) back, no matter what the cost. She travels through the rural backroads to meet with a Voodou Priest (played by Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief Alfred Doucette, a little too convincingly), in hopes to rekindle the lost romance. Lischelle and Lance’s past relationship is shown through both magical flashback sequences and performances at The Turning Point with Lance, his band and vocal trio Mahogany Blue.

Filmed over the course of five years, pre and post Hurricane Katrina, It is the story of the unique and endangered culture of New Orleans they represent--as bearers of tradition, artists, musicians, and warriors who have laid down their weapons, but not their determination to survive as a people.
