Better Will Come follows two brothers, Jay and Joe Wilson, on a quixotic quest to abolish racism and make up for the sins of slavery, segregation, and discrimination. Fueled by very different motivations, their self-appointed mission to bring justice and pecuniary compensation to millions of African Americans takes them from a Washington, D.C. storefront church to the forefront of a boutique, modern-day civil rights movement. The "Retribution Brothers," as Jay and Joe become known, use cutting-edge, if not laudable, methods to raise funds, foster mass awareness, and bring about social change. Jay and Joe are embraced by the street and the white middle class, from which they stem. Visionaries or plain heroes, the Retribution Brothers make history by transcending the very notion of race. Along the way they find love, faith, fame, fortune, and redemption. What they lose, they lose forever.
