Pitched against the end of apartheid and the dirty international arms trade wheeling, dealing and power struggles in a floundering new South Africa: Chrighton Cade, is a sadistic Englishman, a psychotic arms dealer, an expert in the arts of torture, and has too much at stake to lose; Ahmed Salib is well connected to the front-row players, comes from money, craves for power and has no conscience or moral compass; Nelson Lawd, once a world renowned ballistics expert with a murky past - that the world believes was assassinated many years before by Mossad ...And according to those in international circles of power and influence, they have never ever met - and should never even be spoken about in the same conversations. But Arnold 'Dup' Du Preez, ex-dancer now off-beat movie producer, has all three of them together in the background in a sexy holiday video taken at the coast, quite a few years earlier. For Cade, Salib and Lawd, this can never be; too much at stake. Should the knowledge of the video ever come out, careers would crumble and people would die - and the very future of the newly democratised South Africa is in the firing line. The stakes are too high and there can be no loose ends. They know Dup has the video, they know who he is, and they are coming... And for Dup, simply keeping those he loves alive is going to be a lot easier said than done...
