In 1953, Major (Old Bob) Ferguson, a soldier recently blinded on duty in Kenya, relates his untold story to a ten-year-old village lad, Mike Gilbride. In 2012, Mike, his days fast closing in, is seeking final catharsis as he relates both their colourful tales to Teddy, his only grandson. Family lies, treason and death flourish. Eventually, their lives collide.
