Connected by a Jamaican restaurant in London, Judith, Mikey and Frankie help each other attempt to establish roots in a country that has been anything but kind to them. The disruptor Mikey uses art and politics to respond to the injustices he sees. Judith conforms, seeking an ordinary life as a nurse and make enough money to take care of her family back home. Frankie takes life less seriously because he's been on the wrong side of society's judgement all his life.
What he lacks in luck, he makes up for in community, encouraging others he sees light in when he can't see it in himself. Soon Come is story of physical, social and emotional displacement and how people have coped. It's a nuanced re-examination of romanticised stories about generations of British-Jamaicans, revealing their struggles both within and beyond the community.
