From Ibadan to Hell Yard takes readers on a journey through the tumultuous era from the early 1800s to 1962, focusing on Trinidad & Tobago. The novella explores the lives of characters such as John, Sally, Jackson, and Jacob, and the genesis of the renowned Hell Yard.

The narrative is woven through significant historical events, including slavery, the Canboulay Riot, Emancipation, suppression of African culture, and the pursuit of independence.
