When Guy Radford goes to visit an old college friend on the West Indian island of St. Marien, he is blissfully unaware of the trouble he is flying into. For St. Marien is an island on the brink of revolution, where divisions of race and wealth have created such tensions between desperate workers and powerful plantation owners that a violent showdown is inevitable. When Radford unwittingly becomes caught in the crossfire he finds his own life in danger. And as the conflict intensifies, the fact that he has fallen in love adds merely one more complication to an already tricky situation.

Guy Radford visits an old friend on St. Marien Island in the West Indies, where he becomes embroiled in the violence and dissention of race relations. The upper-class British plantation owners are attempting to keep the free blacks in their place, leading lives of labor and poverty. Guy becomes trapped between his beliefs in equality and his desire for his host's sister. Peter Wickham brings the island natives and landowners to life with subtle accents and credible characterizations.
