Set in the town of Cascadu, Trinidad, after the failed 1970 Black Power rebellion, the novel follows characters like Sonnyboy and KingKala. Sonnyboy is eager for recognition in the rebellion and KingKala, a singer, seeks a comeback. Their hopes turn to a movie being shot on the island, but things don't go as expected. The story unfolds as townsfolk navigate through music, politics, religion, and love, discovering the potential for liberation in their community's small moments of magic.
