An escaped slave from an alien planet lands in New York City and tries to adapt to life on the streets of Harlem, where he gets a job as a repair man due to his amazing abilities at fixing machines. Meanwhile, he's pursued by two agents from his home world who are intent on returning there with him.
The Brother is an alien who has crash-landed on Earth, in New York City. While mute, strongly empathic, and able to fix things, he resembles a Black man with strange feet. His attempt to make a place for himself in Harlem is an allegory for the immigrant experience in the United States.
