Backwood Lovers, a synopsis by Austin Mitchell

When Vin Lowe returned home from America, he had no intention of being along with his former girlfriend, Marsha Lecky again. They had been high school sweethearts. She was childless but was seeing another man, Nollis Binns. Vin has a baby mother, Ceila, plus two girlfriends, Megan and Leta. Nollis has three baby mothers plus several girlfriends. Nollis is a businessman having a business in the area. He also operates several taxis and minibuses. Vin is also a businessman running his late parent’s shop and bar. Nollis’ women want him to leave her. They feel that she is only after his money and will soon return to Vin after getting enough of Nollis’ money. They can’t understand why he bought a car for her or is giving her money when she doesn’t have a child for him. Nollis doesn’t believe that Marsha will ever leave him for Vin. He says that he is running a broken down old shop and bar and is along with his bar maid and his shop assistant. He allows young girls from the village to go behind his shop counter and take anything they want so long as they return to sleep with him. Vin laughs at Nollis’ attempts to smear him and Marsha scoffs at it. Nollis curses off both of them and sped away in his car. Vin and his former girlfriend are trying to reconcile their differences. She calls all of his women and warn them off. She even calls Marsha and warns her off. Marsha tells her that she is along with money man, Nollis and has no interest in Vin. April said she was lying and wanted Vin back. Nollis said that Vin was trying to trick him and April was just a face card. His real intention was to get back Marsha. Vin laughs him off and says that he is along with two women and had no interest in Marsha. Two of Marsha’s friends try to arrange a deal whereby Marsha would leave Nollis and Vin would leave his girlfriends and be along with her. Nollis hears about it and curses them off. He accuses Vin of being behind the plot but he denies it. Instead, he says that he is satisfied wit Megan and L eta. Nollis boast about the amount of money he is giving her. He says that Vin is so broke that he couldn’t take care of Marsha for a week. It’s no wonder he doesn’t live with a woman. Vin counters that he pays his bills as they fall due. He says that he owes neither of his workers. Nollis says that he will soon be bankrupt like his brother. Nollis also says that he knows of Vin’s plans to lure Marsha to go to Kingston with him by getting a big job down there. Vin denies it and says that Nollis is lying. One of Nollis’ women, Jheanel, says that he was wicked to have bought a car for Marsha while she has to either take the bus or taxis and Marsha doesn’t have a child for him. Marsha is there one Saturday morning when Jheanel and two men turn up, demanding her car. Marsha throws the keys at her and dares her to drive it away. Nollis comes on the scene and affirms that Marsha bought back the car from. Jheanel said that unless he was prepared to give her a car he shouldn’t come back to her house. He said that he wouldn’t miss her as he has too many women sleeping with. Vin starts seeing two women from his past, Miss Carol and Ann. Both women swear that they won’t leave him for Marsha to have him. Nollis’ newest baby mother, Samantha, is preventing Marsha from dancing with him at every party, social or dance they attend. She says that just like Marsha, she wants what she can get out of Nollis. Marsha told her that she was only being grudgeful and bad minded. Meanwhile she is getting frustrated at Nollis’s women behavior, especially Samantha and wants to leave him but not for Vin.
