Badu Obosi is haunted. As an enslaved Igbo man on the island of Barbados, he is all too familiar with violence and heartache, and wants nothing more than to protect his family. When his daughter’s safety was threatened, he had no choice but to lead a revolt against the slavers to help her escape. Now hunted by the militia, Badu and his wife, an Irish indentured servant, must flee the island. As Badu treks through dangerous territory to secure their passage, he finds that he is pursued by much more than mere mortals, but also by the ghosts of lost loves and the transgressions that led him to enslavement. As he runs towards freedom, Badu faces a life-and-death decision: allow himself to continue sinking into despair, tortured with what could have been, or summon the strength to face his past and release the shackles on his soul, once and for all?
