Description

Fritz Duquesne, an aristocratic South African, is sent to England for his formal education in 1899. Tensions between the British and his homeland are at a boiling point as the age of African colonialism reaches its peak. As Fritz returns home as a commissioned British army officer, tensions escalate further. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Irish Sea, John MacBride is fighting for freedom as part of the revolutionary Irish Brotherhood. With funding running low, MacBride seeks financial backing from overseas, leading him to South Africa where gold has drawn the attention of everyone looking to exploit its riches. The British Empire's interests are pitted against the growing nationalist movement in Ireland and South Africa, setting the stage for a complex web of politics and rebellion.
