A deadly virus is stolen from a lab in Zimbabwe and hours later, bodies begin dropping in neighboring Botswana under very strange and unknown circumstances.

Garikai, a semi-retired Zimbabwean spy living in Gaborone, is roped in to track and retrieve the virus. It seems like it would be a straight forward proposition: track down a group of disgruntled scientists with a bone to chew against their government and take back what belongs to his country. Simple, that is, until bazookas start going off and Garikai gets more than he bargained for.

While Tsholofelo, a senior detective of the Botswana Police Service, is on the case for her country, Garikai is forced to improvise to stay ahead of an assassin's bullet or scientist's syringe.

Garikai and Tsholo, an unlikely pair, are forced to team up and together, they uncover a truth that will shake both nations to their cores.
