The Disappearers (UK)

'Darkness is a mood in Jamaica...'

The Disappearers is Marlon James's triumphant return to the Jamaica of A Brief History of Seven Killings.

Eight men meet in Kingston in 1988, answering the casting call for a play. Then a mob descends on one of their rehearsals. By the end of the night, one man is dead, all are injured, and two subsequently disappear.

As the survivors heal, each man finds he must confront issues that the attack laid bare. Some try to forget; some embrace their rage; and some simply vanish – but all are forever scarred.
