0n a small Caribbean island, a male nurse, with problems of identity, is assigned to take care of a demented old woman whose past he gradually unfolds. What are the unspeakable secrets hidden in her house? What turned her father into a monster? Where are her mother and her mother's lover? Did her sister just abandon her? And the old man who comes to visit, who is he? Dark, crackling with energy and vivid descriptions.
