The men's lives and beliefs transform as they rediscover new ways of living in the city that they believe represents their spiritual nemesis, 'Babylon'.

What happens when the three friends start to have different visions of the future? Will they fall for the thrills of 'Babylon' or recommit to their Rastafarian ideals?
