In the '70's and 80's South Africa is torn apart by racial hatred.There is a restlessness among the young coloured generation who, unlike their elders are prepared to fight the oppressive apartheid laws to bring about justice. Elizabeth is the beautiful and feisty daughter of Karel and Miemie Apollos farmworkers on the wine estate Tweefontein. Disturbed by her parent's passive acceptance of the discriminatory laws, she joins a protest march where she meets Robert Booth an activist from the United Kingdom. They fall in love but love across the colour line is forbidden and in a night of turmoil they flee South Africa. Emmy is the child they leave behind. She changes the lives of those who are inadvertently drawn into her world. Haunted by her past Emmy overcomes grief and tragedy to find the answers she seeks in a Post Apartheid South Africa.
