Sayon Hughes; a young Black man from Bristol; dreams of a world far removed from the one in which he was raised. Far removed from the torn slips outside the bookie's; the burnt spoons and the crooked solutions his community embraces; most of all; removed from the Christianity of his uncaring parents and the prejudice of law-makers. Growing up; Sayon found respite from the chaos of his environment in the love and loyalty of his brother-in-arms; Cuba; in the example of his cousin Hakim; a man once known as the most infamous drug-dealer in their neighbourhood; now a proselytising Muslim; and in the tenderness of his girl; Shona; whose own sense of purpose galvanises Sayon's. In return; Sayon wants to give the people he loves the world: a house atop a grand hill in the most affluent area of the city; a home in which they can forever find joy and safety. But after an altercation in which a boy is killed; Sayon finds his loyalties torn and his dream of a better life in peril.
