A single bullet -
a tragedy and the shattered lives of five children

1924 Cape Town, South Africa.

Elizabeth's life is shattered by a twist of fate. Life with Aunt Agnus is miserable and as dull as the woman herself, but a ray of hope comes in the form of a letter from her sister. 

A second twist of fate.
