Mulder, a Dutchman, returns at last to South Africa, his memories scattered by forty years and two strokes. Once he fought to free the country from apartheid; now he finds its people asking whether years of democracy have left them any better off. The village where his friend Donald - a comrade from his Fraternite days - lives is as segregated as ever: fishermen struggle to eke out a living and kids wreck their brains with crystal meth. Tensions are high: Donald wages a campaign against the local mayor; every day the whites add inches to their perimeter fences. So when Mulder and Donald attempt to help a young tik-head get clean against his will, their muddled good intentions can only be misunderstood...

Condición: Como nuevo. : Mulder, un holandés, regresa finalmente a Sudáfrica, con sus recuerdos dispersos por cuarenta años y dos derrames cerebrales. Una vez luchó para liberar al país del apartheid; ahora se encuentra con que su gente se pregunta si los años de democracia los han dejado mejor. El pueblo donde vive su amigo Donald, un camarada de sus días de Fraternite, está tan segregado como siempre: los pescadores luchan por ganarse la vida y los niños destrozan sus cerebros con metanfetamina cristalina. Las tensiones son altas: Donald libra una campaña contra el alcalde local; cada día los blancos añaden pulgadas a sus vallas perimetrales. Así que cuando Mulder y Donald intentan ayudar a un joven adicto a limpiarse contra su voluntad, sus confusas buenas intenciones sólo pueden ser malinterpretadas.
