A historical epic, cast in the style of a realistic narrative with symbolic overtones, about runaway slaves and their hunters in the mid-nineteenth century, which weaves an analysis of the factional divisions between coffee and sugar interests, plantation owners and smallholders, around the drama of the Rancheador searching for the mythical rebel slave leader, Mother Manchora.
