Set in Jamaica's turbulent 1970s, against the backdrop of the Cold War, a national water crisis, an energy crisis, corruption, and numerous murder scandals that gave birth to the polarized violence gripping the streets of Kingston both then and now, 'Better Mus' Come' is the story of Ricky, a former inmate haunted by the tragic death of his wife and paralyzed by conflicted feelings of guilt and loyalty to his political tribe. Ricky meets Kamala, a book-smart country girl who lives in the opposing neighborhood -- enemy territory -- and what starts as antagonism quickly turns into burning passion.
