Resumen del Editor

This is a journey through the turbulent history of Uganda - a walk through military coups, rebel insurgency, and social violence.

Through a narration of the lives of two men, the story unfolds.

In the first instance, it is the story of Robert, who struggles to come to terms with bereavement and poverty. Yet the road of pain, that is, his primary experience in life, leads him to a life of fulfillment as a minister in the church.

It is also the story of John Ogwang, a school dropout who joins the army. He is posted to military intelligence, where he learns the techniques of manipulation. After the government is overthrown, he flees to serve in the brutal rebel army. Later, he takes advantage of an amnesty offered and surrenders to the government. He sets up an operation of organized crime with a used car dealership as a front. Using the proceeds, he sets up the parlor of a normal life - a comfortable existence with the love of his life, Sarah. But in his secret life, there is turmoil.

As the paths of the two men cross, John finally finds a sense of belonging and peace.
