Early one morning, at the close of St Colibris carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree. It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island.

As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women. Theres Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story. Her childhood friend Tara, a pink-haired, straight-talking local activist. Gigi, the notorious founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago.

In a community in which womens voices are often silenced and violence against them is overlooked time after time, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out and to act. But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage
