Two journeys run side by side, as two strangers try to learn why a brother and a sister went under. Summoned by an alarming call from a Josias Brandt, the heavy-metal devotee Karl Hofmeyr sets off unwillingly to save his brother Iggy, while his fixations keep stalling him. Maria Volschenk, gripped by a sudden emptiness, heads for the Western Cape on an errand she has long feared. Their roads meet on an unlikely smallholding in Cape Town.
