The Mau Mau secret society struck terror into the British settlers in Kenya. It was an episode in history that would leave a nation brutally divided. Against this backdrop unfolds the personal story of two boys, one black, one white, who find that, in a country riven with fear and prejudice, even best friends can betray one another.
