Johannesburg in the 1940s is an optimistic, thriving metropolis—one about to be torn apart by racial segregation. For South African Jews, it was a time of exhilaration, as the State of Israel was about to be born. But it was also a time of trepidation, as the National Party, which had opposed South Africa's entry into the Second World War, campaigned on an apartheid platform. One Jewish family, having found refuge in South Africa from Lithuania, launches a successful building enterprise. But the death of a sister sets two brothers against one another. One finds an unlikely ally in James Mpanza, the charismatic leader of the Sofasonke movement, an early group of illegal squatters who built a community independent of the South African state.
