In the heart of rural Botswana, the poverty-stricken village of Golema Mmidi is a haven for exiles from far and wide. A South African political refugee and an Englishman join forces to revolutionize the villagers' traditional farming methods, but their task is fraught with hazards as the pressures of tradition, opposition from the local chief, and the unrelenting climate threaten to divide and devastate the fragile community.
