The De Heerden brothers have some big plans for South Africa which they intend to see through to fruition, whatever the cost. South Africa's fledgling democracy is not working in their opinion and they have a platinum edged solution. Max Thatcher is drawn in to preventing the conspiracy spiralling South Africa's constitution back to the dark days of Apartheid. In this, a fast moving story, there can ultimately only be one winner. With none of the protagonists prepared to take a backward step the cost to secure victory is measured in terms of life and death.
