Synopsis
Set in rural Jamaica, Swimming With Fishes dives into the love affair between sickle cell patient Kat and London-born businessman Ben, and how their fiery romance grows beyond either of their expectations.
In this season of her life, Kat wants a baby more than life itself. So when the town herbalist foretells of a man from across the ocean who will father her child, Kat's hopes intensify into a dream that simply must come true.
Years later, her encounter with Ben edges that lofty prediction towards reality. Their friendship develops into an all-consuming love to which they both surrender. Unknown to Ben, however, Kat’s health is a consistent impediment to her joy and new relationships; much like the secret that Ben keeps to himself… he’s married to another woman.
