Something strange is happening to Hilton James. He's losing time, experiencing events out of order, and losing his family. His Nana saved him from drowning as a kid, but something has been pursuing him for decades. He shouldn't be here. This story is woven with a hyper realistic racism storyline. I "liked" this. An upwardly mobile family of color, the vibrant Miami setting (ngl, Every time I saw "Biscayne" I would sing some of Mask Off - ocean air, cruuuising Biscaaaayne), the wife being more successful than the husband, a solid marriage without being overly perfect. The dog doesn't die! All the makings of a captivating story. Open ended ending. Did Hilton come out of that?
