Mystery | Suspense
In Madison, Wisconsin, it’s a big deal when African peace
activist Joshua Hakizimana—famous for saving hundreds of
people from the Rwandan genocide—accepts a position at the
university. When a young girl is found murdered on his
doorstep. For local police Detective Ishmael—an
African-American in an “extremely white” town—it seems like
the kind of crime that happens in an area where the Ku Klux
Klan still holds rallies. But then he gets a mysterious
phone call: “If you want the truth, you must go to its
source. The truth is in the past. Come to Nairobi.” It’s the
beginning of a journey that will take Ishmael to a place
still vibrating from the surrounding genocide, where big-oil
money rules and where the local cops shoot 'rst and ask
questions later. And although it’s the land of his
ancestors, it becomes a disorienting and terrifying quest
through the slums of Nairobi, a place where knowing the
truth about history can kill you.
