In 1937, near the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, a young Haitian woman named Marie is expecting her first child with Frank, her doting Dominican husband. After her mother's burial, she is awakened in the middle of the night by distant screams. The immediate execution of all Haitians on Dominican soil has been ordered — the so-called “Cut” — and what seals a victim’s fate is whether or not they can pronounce "perejil" (parsley). Marie takes off to find Frank in the next town over, with nothing but the clothes on her back.

A torrid affair, set in tropical splendor, between the young heritor of a wealthy empire built by German businessmen and an attractive Latin girl from a modest family. Both will have to prove the strength of their love in fighting against the ugly shadow of racial and economic prejudice.
