Set against the backdrop of contemporary Jamaican society, the narratives confront issues of misogyny and violence while celebrating the creative spirit found in chaos, particularly through the vibrant lens of reggae culture. With a poetic imagination and acute social awareness, Dawes crafts a compelling portrayal of his characters' inner lives, culminating in the powerful mythic resonance of "Marley's Ghost."
