William Fletcher is from Trinidad, son of the island’s white aristocracy which escaped years ago to New York. He lives there alone as he tries to become a writer. Laurence de Boissière is also a fugitive of the island; he is the son of poor blacks who left around the same time as William, with a scholarship to study at Oxford. He is now a well known poet and playwright. The two friends meet again in New York, along with an old flame of William’s, and the three of them promise each other they will go back to Trinidad for Carnival, the island’s annual cathartic orgy / William Fletcher, un caribeño de Trinidad, hijo de la aristocracia blanca de la isla que escapó hace ya años a Nueva York, vive allí solitario mientras intenta ser escritor. Laurence de Boissiere, también fugitivo de la isla, es hijo de negros pobres y se marchó en la misma época que William con una beca para estudiar en Oxford. Ahora es un conocido poeta y dramaturgo. Los dos amigos se reencuentran en Nueva York y retoman las correrías por los bares de emigrados antillanos. En uno de esos bares, William se encuentra también con Rachel, su prima lejana, su amor de toda la vida. Los tres se comprometen a volver a Trinidad para el Carnaval, la catártica orgía anual. La fiesta comienza con euforia, pero el pasado vuelve, acompañado ahora del rey del carnaval, el joven Eddoes, escandalosamente bello, que ha escapado por unos días de su comunidad en la selva, mezcla de antiguos hippies y de nativos de la isla que viven según sus propias leyes y las de antiguos cultos de la tierra.
