South Africa, 1994. Fifteen years ago, Meisie and Boetie's father was killed when his car was hijacked. Meisie was with her father in the car but, being blind, she did not see the hijacker's face. The police never found the killer but Meisie never forgot the voice that had laughed as her father was shot. South Africa 1994. Now, Meisie and Boetie live with their uncle on what remains of the family farm: the end of the apartheid era has caused a sharp decline in their fortunes. With other white Afrikaner extremists, they plan to attack South Africa's first democratically elected government. One day, a black police inspector arrives at the farm. The cause of his visit is routine but to Meisie he seems strangely familiar.
