Description
In late-1980s Kingston, eight men come together to rehearse a play, united by circumstance but divided by their histories, ambitions, and reasons for taking part. When a brutal homophobic attack shatters their fragile refuge, the survivors are forced to confront the fear, fury, and grief that have long shaped their lives. Set against Jamaica’s charged social landscape, this powerful novel explores queer identity, community, masculinity, violence, and the complicated demands of survival. With visceral intensity and dramatic momentum, it offers an unflinching portrait of men seeking dignity and connection in a world determined to make them disappear.
