Gerald Manston and his friends Shifty and Fu lead pretty uneventful lives until the arrival of the “upheaval.” When the opportunity arrives for a better way of life, the poor folks of Kingston, Jamaica—including Gerald—cannot resist the lure of excitement, danger, and change. This touching story not only discusses political issues, but also promotes family values.
