The story follows 14-year-old Joseph Mabaso. Growing up in Lusaka, Zambia, Joseph is used to his father’s long absences as a freedom fighter. However, when his mother, Chanda, suddenly disappears, Joseph embarks on a dangerous and emotionally charged physical journey to find his parents. His quest takes him across unfamiliar territory, through the complexities of South Africa's transition to democracy, and on a parallel internal journey to find his own identity and a sense of "home".
