Overview

Christina Mureti, an impetuous police officer from the city, is transferred to a small desert town in Namibia where she uncovers a series of grizzly animal sacrifices. Then a German farmer is found hung on the same tree where Christina’s ancestors were hung a century ago during Germany’s colonial war with the Herero. Only when Christina begins to learn about her people’s history and embraces some of its cultural wisdom is she able to solve the case.
