Black Cake plot
In the late 1960s, a runaway bride named Covey disappears in the surf off the coast of Jamaica and it is feared that she has drowned or is fleeing her husband's murder. Fifty years later, Eleanor Bennett, a widow in her sixties, loses her battle with cancer in California, leaving her two estranged children behind a flash drive containing previously untold stories about her journey from the Caribbean to America. These stories, told by Eleanor, shock her children and change everything they thought they knew about their family's origins.
