The time is 1939. White South Africa is a deeply divided nation with many of the Afrikaner people opposed to the English. The world is also on the brink of war and South Africa elects to fight for the Allied cause against Germany. Six year-old Tom Fitzsaxby finds himself in The Boys Farm, an orphanage in a remote town in the high mountains, where the Afrikaners side fiercely with Hitler's Germany. Tom's English name proves sufficient for him to be ostracised. And so begin some of life's tougher lessons for the small lonely boy.
