In 1978, two men and a woman traveled from Key West to the small town of Green Island on the northern coast of Jamaica. Seeking a holiday, they were instead turned upside down by a heady mixture of mushrooms, madness, and magic.

Far from a travelogue, "Green Island" is author David Khan Johnson's story of worlds colliding on a muddy road up into the hills. Set to a reggae soundtrack and filtered through a cloud of ganja, it's a time when thunder crashed, smoke swirled, passions burned, bass rumbled, colors ran, and the veil was torn.

Welcome to Green Island.
