In postwar England, Melvyn is cast adrift in the unyielding corridors of an elite boarding school, forced to conceal his vulnerability behind a facade of tradition and stoicism. His fragile bond with a grieving mother and the upheaval of a nation in transition propel him towards the seductive, morally ambiguous sphere of antiquities trading.
When fate leads him to Southern Rhodesia on the cusp of independence, Melvyn journeys into a landscape riven by remarkable beauty and looming rupture, confronting both personal and colonial complicity.
As conflicting loyalties and uneasy alliances demand choices, Melvyn must reckon with the true price of belonging—even as ambition draws him deeper into a world where betrayal may be the only constant.
