On October 20th 1983, Maurice Bishop, the dismissed socialist Prime Minister of Grenada, was killed in internecine fighting. The new hard-left regime, led by Bernard Coard and his wife Phyllis, survived for four days before US Marines invaded and occupied the island 'saving' it from communism. Among others, Phyllis Coard was arrested and has been a prisoner for over fourteen years. For most of that time she has been the only woman prisoner on the island. Two women in prison together, one a prisoner, the other her jailer, both locked into their socially opposed roles. They embody the polarised divisions and politics of the Caribbean, a potent, dangerous mix which could destroy them both.
