It’s 1979 and South Africa’s government's main concern is keeping Southern Africa free of communism, to protect the Afrikaner people, Christianity, and the free world.
To do this, they need bodies, and seventeen-year-old Nicholas van der Swart is conscripted into the South African Defence Force and finds himself in the dark heart of a regime that demands absolute conformity, brute masculinity, racism, and bigotry.
