It’s the year 1934, and slavery has ended. Emancipation has finally come to the Caribbean island of Antigua. However, slavery’s hold still lingers, though in different ways for the spirit of a murdered slave girl, the soul of a disillusioned Anglican minister, and a mute Antiguan boy, silenced by a blow in his early youth. Each of these three are captive to sorrows, regret and pain. And when each is faced with letting Manley, a cruel bar owner and former plantation manager, die in a fiery inferno, they must each choose. Will their final choices be based on hate and revenge or faith and courage . What they decide will lead to redemption and release from the island, or leave them forever imprisoned in bitterness and hate.
