Unassuming archivist Macaulay Vogel examines a recently discovered
cache of old police archives, when all of a sudden he comes upon a
surveillance file about himself. It's a terrible shock: he doesn't
recognise this person at all. Who is the youthful Macaulay Vogel in
these reports? As Vogel sets out to discover who he once was - and
now is, a series of dramatically unintended events is ignited.
Vogel soon discovers no one wants the past raked up anymore. He
seeks out old friends: a lover; former comrades; the struggle
lawyer turned corporate lawyer; even their nemesis, Boschard, the
eerie former security policeman. Vogel's search for the truth is
paralleled by the excavation of a mysterious accumulation of bones
in the centre of Cape Town. Is this a secret slave burial pit? The
site becomes an impassioned battle ground and the rising social and
racial tensions threaten to spill over into violence. Unwillingly,
Vogel is sucked into mediating between two former comrades, now
bitter rivals. Macaulay Vogel, however, is also haunted by his own
secrets: above all, the mysterious Marda. For whom does he buy all
those extravagant bouquets of flowers? The twin strands of the
files and the bones finally converge, threatening to crush Vogel.
