In The Disappearers\, eig ht men in Kingston\, Jamaica\, begin rehearsals for a play in 1988. The me n are strangers to one another and each has a different reason for being i nvolved. But they all share one inescapable truth: All of them are gayâ €•a &ldquo\;battyman&rdquo\; in Jamaican argot―and all of them must contend with the dangers that such a truth lays bare.
\nOne nig ht a mob savagely attacks them\, killing one of the men. For the survivors \, their recovery is as much emotional as it is physical. As their bodies heal\, each man grapples with the violence\, the hatred\, and the rage tha t the attack made plain. Some try to ignore what the attack has unearthed\ , while others double down on retribution.
