The story

Ivanhoe "Ivan" Martin is a young and poor man living in rural Jamaica. After his grandmother dies, he leaves the countryside for the city of Kingston, where he is immediately conned out of all his possessions by a street vendor. Though his mother tells him that city life is hard, she suggests he might find work with a local Christian preacher.
