An African American mom turns to crack after her husband's murder. She abandons her 11-yr-old son for the promise of plentiful drugs on a mysterious farm. Turns out she's signed up for modern-day slavery. And that's not the weird part. The chapters are told from 3 perspectives: the mom, the boy & crack itself, a disembodied voice that sounds like a cross between Huggy Bear & the devil. Fits, since it's basically a tour of hell & the demons that get us there. Haunting, inventive, racially-charged, but unrelentingly grim.
