___________________________________ ‘We are born of fighters … slaves wanting to be free. Never let anyone take away the fire in your belly, my daughters…’ When their father dies, Agnes Deterville and her sister Ella must forge their own paths in life.

Headstrong Agnes dreams of a new life far away. Cautious Ella fears the world beyond their small village in St Lucia.

When Agnes departs for a new life in 1950s London, they are both confronted by heartbreak, loneliness, and tragedy.

Separated by an ocean, but bound by love, can the sisters keep their island song singing in their hearts?
