Bar owner and ex-New Yorker Len Buonfiglio, a hero in his hometown, flees his family and the city for what he hopes is a quieter, idyllic life in the tropics. But when Lord Ram, a world-renowned Calypso performer dies, Len is called in to quiet damning rumors about the man's death.
Len's investigation gets even more complicated when a living ghost from his past, a former friend named Maurizio Loffredo, returns to the small Caribbean island of St. Pierre bringing deadly trouble with him.
In his search for the truth about Lord Ram and dealing with the very dangerous mess Maurizio has brought with him, Len soon learns that even on a sunny tropical paradise there is no escape from darkness.
