1969, Bristol. Bajan ex- cop and reluctant private detective, JT Ellington is still trading in cash and favours, lending a helping hand to those too scared to go to the police or anyone trying to stay one step ahead of them. When news arrives of a tragedy that's unfolded thousands of miles away, JT's life get even tougher. He need to journey to Barbados to pay his final respects -- but first he must travel to New York, where his cousin Vic is building himself a criminal empire in Harlem. Vic appoints the beguiling Evagelina Laveau to mind his cousin, along with his henchmen, Clefus Horton and a hot-headed Bajun, Pigfoot, a man always quick with his knife. JT soon discovers that Vic is the American end of an operation that stretches back to Barbados, and connects him with the death of JT's wife and daughter. As JT finds himself embroiled in the world of drugs, bent law, voodoo and the bitter legacy of slavery, he must return to the island of his birth and face the demons of his past?
