Marshall Sarjeant is born at the beginning of the 20th century in
Paradise, Jamaica. As a young man, he is entrusted with a mythical quest
to overcome a curse that has been put on his family. He must do this by
returning to Africa from where family members were brought as slaves.
Marshall's journey is a long, taking him first to wartime Liverpool
and then, London where he marries and mixes with a clubland crowd of
gamblers, musicians and politicians. In Africa, he finds a continent in
the turbulent throes of attempting to escape a colonial past. Returning
to Paradise, Marshall's life turns full circle in his epic mission to
defeat the duppy, or ghost that started him on his voyage.
