Dany is a young man whose parents were killed by the Duvalier regime. He is raised in Haiti by his aunt Estina, who eventually compels him to leave the country and immigrate to the US in order to get away from the people who murdered his parents. Ironically, while living in Brooklyn, he ends up a tenant of the very man (Papa) he believes killed them. He returns to Haiti to visit Estina and tell her this, and during this time Estina dies, leaving Dany profoundly stricken by grief.
