The story begins with a dead body found on the outskirts of Johannesburg, dumped carelessly on the dusty edge of a mine. The victim is a Black man — a migrant worker among thousands who toil under oppressive conditions in the city’s gold mines. His death, like so many others, might have gone unnoticed… but this time, something is different.
