This novel is the sequel to We Brothers, which was the story about two boys in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and their journey to becoming men. Daniel and Peter gradually come to similar conclusions that they were fighting a war that would benefit only the nationalist leadership. Daniel disappears from his terrorist group and Peter emigrates. Daniel and Peter meet up after formal Zimbabwe independence and agree that together, blacks and whites in the country could get rid of the Zimbabwean president Mugabe and his followers.
Their pledge was to achieve this without a war or loss of life. The two men and their wives plan to topple Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party from power. This is a dangerous plot. If caught, they face treason charges. In Zimbabwe this means certain death.
