Mozambique, 1975
In the bitter and murderous aftermath of a brutal civil war, ex-policeman Joe Hickey is winding up his business and preparing to leave the country.
But when his office manager tries to cross the border with a fortune in American dollars and kills himself in the attempt, Hickey’s complicated past catches up with him.
He finds himself being blackmailed by revengeful and desperate men who offer him safe passage out of Mozambique on condition he tracks down a mercenary killer hiding somewhere in Africa’s dark heart.
But it soon becomes clear that Hickey is just the decoy in a deadly stalking game and with time running out, he realises his life matters to no one – except himself.
