In apartheid southern Africa, a three-year-old girl named Koba is snatched from her Kalahari tribe after witnessing her parents' brutal murder by white farmers. The orphaned child is taken in by a liberal white woman called Marta, and finds herself trapped in a terrifying new world. Years later, Koba learns "white" ways alongside Marta's son, Mannie, while never forgetting the pull of her own desert people. One weekend, a passionate love affair develops between Mannie and Koba which questions their assumptions and loyalties and brings down all the force of the law upon them.
