Set in fictitious island of Run Mowa, South African political activist, Nkosana Zali takes us through a fast-paced political thriller on political succession battles. A young Harvard graduate, Achmet Muhammad, is shot and killed when his lawyers mount a spirited appeal case against a ten year sentence he got for a crime he did not commit. When he was sentenced, the president of his country, Nicos Muhlaba, was serving the last years of a mandatory two terms as both the leader of the country and of the ruling Run Mowa People's Party (RMPP). Several candidates were lining up to take over from him. A continent away, the State of Pan Arabia advertised a $4.5 billion (US) airport and airport city construction tender. These two events conspire to evince a ferocious and unrelenting pursuit for power and profit by the cunning and shady, driven, however, by the most unwitting and upstanding. When politics and business meet then, as they say, 'something's gotta give.'
