They become blood brothers, but are torn apart by politics. David goes to war in Angola and Jonathan to Oxford University, but fate keeps bringing them together, on a wild ride through Africa and America.
They join Selous Scouts in a battle with poachers and Mozambican rebels in the rescue of a friend. David marries Chantal, the love of his life, in Hawaii. They return to Cape Town, but in the wink of an eye, their lives fall apart, and David wanders the Florida Keys, a fugitive and wanted murderer, a pawn in a conspiracy to derail the South African peace process.
The blood brothers team up again in a hair-raising climax, as they return to Africa, on an impossible mission to save their families and country.
