It is a farm based on fairness and mutual respect. The eldest son Chris falls in love with his childhood playmate, Cass, the daughter of the farm foreman. Cass has been like a younger sister to Chris ever since her mother was killed in a farm accident, an accident which left her partially crippled. They have grown up and now grown into love. Blocking their hopes for the future are issues dividing race and the farm's existence in the volatile political climate of South Africa. Tensions arise from both sides and the young couple must fight against the horrors of base opportunistic criminals and white supremacists, to forge their own new world as young lovers.A love story that holds the hand of humanity to triumph over racially drawn lines of political greed in a land once seen as Nelson Mandela's, 'Rainbow nation.'
