Chris Dolan leaves the mainly Glaswegian setting of his previous novel Ascension Day and relocates to the Caribbean for this tale. Elspeth Baillie, a young Scottish actress, is invited to Barbados by Lord Coak, a rich plantation owner. Her fortunes turn badly when a terrible storm destroys the theatre she was to act in, and also kills the man she was engaged to.
