Adventure and romance...

Patrick Sillitoe finds himself trapped in a dead end office job, but his marriage to the beautiful and wealthy Judith holds promise of escape and security. But security, even love, is not enough. Patrick's dream..to seek adventure and test himself against nature, to camp on the African plains with a wild moon rising...is at last made real when he meets a ragged, drunken old man. Hypnotized by the lure of gold and the promise of freedom, he abandons everything...job, security, Judith...and follows the old man to the hundred pools of Ruenya, the River of Gold. Through hardship, danger and sickness, their strange partnership of love and hate holds strong. Fortunes are made and fortunes are lost, but through it all the obsession with gold is tempered by the haunting vision of Judith, sacrificed to greed and the dream of independence.
