Official synopsis Publisher
In the Jamaican vernacular a man wears a “jacket” if he has been given the paternity of a child that he has not fathered. A young police officer, his ex-girlfriend, and his current fiancée who is desperate for a child of her own, are caught up in a tug-of-war over an infant whose paternity is in doubt. But whether or not the child is actually his or not she is wanted both by him and his fiancee. The child’s mother sees an opportunity whereby she can profit from the situation and decides to play hardball. Caught up in the drama is a grandmother who is devastated at the thought of losing her “grandchild” whom she is unable to “unlove” just because she may not be her legitimate granddaughter after all. Add to the mix the case of a battered wife, an arrogant and controlling husband and the retribution wreaked upon him, and you have the ingredients for murder, mystery and suspense. In a Jamaican setting, but could happen to anyone anywhere.
