Stifled by the torpor of colonial south africa and trapped in a web of reciprocal oppression, a lonely sheep farmer seeks comfort in the arms of a black concubine but when his embittered spinster daughter magda feels shamed, this lurch across the racial divide marks the end of a tenuous feudal peace as she dreams madly of bloody revenge, magdas consciousness starts to drift and the line between fact and the workings of her excited imagination becomes blurred what follows is the fable of a womans passionate, obsessed and violent response to an africa that will not heed her
