A drama ripped from today's headlines 1963: As European colonists flee the Congo, a witch doctor discovers an forgotten child and educates him the energy of hatred. 100 kilometers to the east, six American hippies over a joyride across Africa crash their VW bus into a cemetery. While they await fixes, they scandalize the neighborhood missionaries and Brenda Carter impulsively marries an African pupil. 2013: Brenda Carter brings Sarah, her deeply stressed granddaughter, to Africa to explore her origins and meet her grandfather, the man Brenda married and forgotten 50 years before. When a Peace Corps staff member is murdered, child is kidnapped, and everything contact with the exterior world is severed by a torrential rain surprise, Sarah becomes an unwilling investigator making the bond between the forgotten son from the Congo, the reality behind her grandmother's marriage, and 50 years of undercover CIA engagement in the politics of Africa. A compelling story of Africa today where witch doctors co-exist with modern drugs, where warlords take cell phones, and where one small region stands at the crossroads of America's Warfare on Terror.
