Life on the streets of Kingston, Jamaica is about frantic survival for small-time hustler Rocksy (Christopher Daley), a taxi driver/part-time pimp, and Rosie (Camille Small); a prostitute, his roommate and business investment.

On the peeling walls of their tenement, Rosie prominently places a painting of an exotic beach that gives them both hope and something tangible to cling to.

In order to achieve their goal of leaving Kingston for another life, Rocksy devises a risky plan with his friend Malt (Greggory Nelson), to steal and fence a sports car belonging to a local Lebanese businessman Faris (Paul Shoucair).

Kingston Paradise is the first feature by the well-noted Jamaican filmmaker Mary Wells[6] who also produced the film.

[4][7] Kingston Paradise had a September 2013 premiere at Toronto's CaribbeanTales Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Feature.
