1977. After witnessing a murder by the South African Defence Force, Isaac Muthethe flees to Botswana - smuggled across the border in a hearse. Dumped in the dust, it's not long before he finds a companion on the road - White Dog - and work as a gardener for a young American, Alice Mendelssohn. And when Isaac goes missing, Alice and White Dog will not rest until he is found.
