Two young men from very different backgrounds: Christian is son to Danish ex-pats; Marcus works as a servant for European families, hoping that one will eventually take him back with them. Their friendship defines a divided continent.
Friends from childhood, they become closer when Christian is kicked out of school. He is desperate to stay in Tanzania, and the two decide to start a nightclub together. But both are caught up in complex relationships, and are unwilling to share the wealth that would support their families. And something else is also not quite right: Christian wants to be black and Marcus wants to be white. Things can only go wrong.
In chronicling his love for a continent run into the ground and sinking into the mire, Ejersbo has created a huge cast of characters that will live on in readers' imaginations as surely as if they had met them themselves.
