'History and the heart both have a habit of sweeping you away. This family drama serves as a potent reminder that the past is always with us.
'Enter South Africa in 1976. Like countless 24-year-olds, Della juggles family, love, work and dreams, but the spectre of apartheid threatens to tear apart even the most unshakeable bonds. Revolution is in the air, and it comes at a price. When her old flame Ezra shows up with a head full of dangerous ideas, Della’s world will be upended by forces that will echo around the globe.'
