In The Vast Machine, a slave ship faces peril, and the remaining five members of the crew must decide what to do with the 235 living people beneath the deck. Set in the period in which slave trade was being outlawed, it offers insights into the crewmen who continued to perpetuate slavery crimes.

Who were the crewmen that perpetrated the complex and multi-faceted crime of slavery? Who would take this work knowing what it entailed? Is there a vast machine that still grinds away today existing only because of the complacency and fear of the witness?
