Half-African, half-Indian and beautiful, Tandia is just a teenager
when she is brutally attacked and violated by the South African
police. Desperately afraid and consumed by hatred for the white
man, Tandia seeks refuge in a brothel deep in the veld. There she
learns to use her brilliant mind and extraordinary looks as weapons
for the battles that lie ahead: she trains as a terrorist. But then
Tandia meets a man with a past as strange as her own: Peekay, an
Oxford undergraduate who is also the challenger for the world
welterweight boxing championship - and a white man. And in a land
where mixed relationships are outlawed, their growing love can only
have the most explosive consequences.
