"Do not go gentle into that good night". I write it in blood on the walls of my mind. A guesthouse in Jamaica's mountains offers the ideal rereat for elderly friends weary of changes that have transformed their city, and a plan takes shpae to retire together in the country house overlooking the sea. Terrorized by gunmen in their Kingston home, however, Elilie and Dan relocate to Trinidad instead, splintering off from the group to join thier daughter's family, yet keeping in close contact with Dan's sister, Rosemarie, whose stepson will run the home. Against the development of Cascade, under its dangerously inept manager, unfolds a tale of violent intrusion and dislocation, of cold-blooded exploitation and murderous resentment.
