As if Obeah-Jamaican black magic-has "fixed his business." Was his father CIA chief of station in Kingston? What caused the bad blood between them? Why would the CIA be in Jamaica anyway? An emotional trauma brings him to psychologist Phil Mitchell, who pushes Scott to relive the fateful year and uncover the truth that will either set them both free or be their undoing.Stir It Up sets into stark relief the historical backdrop of its times.
