1965 – The first gusts of the `Winds of Change’ have reached the southern states of Africa when Derek du Toit inherits his murdered grandfather’s farm, Canaan North, in a Rhodesia that a month previously unilaterally declared independence from Great Britain. Although confronted with tribal murder, political thuggery, and insurgency, he is confident and enthusiastic about the country’s future and starting a new life on Canaan North with his fiancée, Sophia. But he falls prey to a new breed of criminal opportunists spawned by the ever increasing economic sanctions against the country and stands to lose his heritage.
Desperate to keep Canaan North, he and Sophia undertake a clandestine journey into the wilds of Angola, to find a long buried satchel that holds the key to a family fortune and that will earn them reward enough to keep Canaan North. Not only must they evade Portuguese security forces, but also a vicious renegade intelligence agent who will kill to stop them.
