knows nothing of his undercover past. But his world is suddenly
thrown into turmoil when he hears about the new Truth and
Reconciliation Commission, which offers amnesty to those who
confess to crimes committed during the dark days of Apartheid, and
prosecution to those who do not. If Jack tells the truth about
everything he was ordered to do in the service of his country, will
Josephine ever be able to forgive him? If he keeps quiet, will
former colleagues betray him? And will he even be given the choice?
