When Christopher confronts his own violent temper which threatens his wife and children, he flies home to Jamaica and engages in an exorcism of the spirit, from his memories of his abusive, philandering, and hard-living father Henry, whose name for his only son was "Runt".—Bob Lee

"Runt" is a strikingly passionate story of a Jamaican-American man, Christopher Davis, who confronts his ancestral demons in order to become the man he wants to be, and the father he wants to be to his son. From Los Angeles, Christopher returns home to Jamaica when he feels his "snap" coming on. A "snap" is that moment the nice gentle Jamaican man everyone knew, all but disappears to reveal the headstrong, philandering, macho, prideful, violent, male spirit that lives within. During his "healing," his childhood flashbacks reveal a character that is complex, conflicted, and passionately layered.—Anonymous
