As it waits, tragedy ripples out in every direction… When Gikere, Selina, and Munene, members of the new elite, return from the town to the village, they each come with their own ambitions.Gikere: the timid hospital assistant, wants to build a clinic.Selina: Gikere’s wife, previously a prostitute and model in the town, wants to start a school for toy-making.Munene: a powerful politician, detained during the Mau Mau uprising for stealing hospital money, plots to open a hospital of his own.
