[warning: there is death]
Four years ago, on the island of St. Kitts and Nevis, war hero Alexander Hamilton was kidnapped and killed by an unidentified person, believed to be a part of a radical group that opposed his beliefs. His wife and son were taken hostage, and have not been seen since. They are, presumably, dead.
Thousands of miles away, in Washington Heights, New York, Usnavi de la Vega is coping with a difficult loss: his Abuela Claudia has passed away. But the feeling of loss is soon overridden by confusion and betrayal as he discovers things that Claudia had hidden from him. For all his life, Usnavi had been a Puerto Rican man who lived in the barrio and owned a bodega. Sure, he couldn't remember more than four years ago, but he had always been told that that was because of the accident that had caused him to lose his entire family.
Now, Usnavi can't help but wonder if maybe, that isn't true.
