Set in 1980s Trinidad, Roy, a young man, returns from England to attend his father’s funeral. With his widowed mother still mourning the less of her husband, Roy attempts to raise money to continue his father’s legacy through a trust fund set in England. But as the funeral unfolds, old tensions begin to surface as family and friends seem more interested in Roy’s father’s money and possessions than honouring his memory, exposing secrets, greed, family tensions and the complicated ways people deal with death and inheritance.
