West Africa and an unknown boy is killed on the vast palm oil plantation of the powerful corporation, Arranoil. Nobody knows his name, where he came from, or who brought him to work on the estate.

Karen Hamm has travelled to the country to investigate corruption. She's on a mission to find millions of dollars in missing but her enquiries are met by a threatening wall of silence. A chance meeting draws Karen into the dangerous world of local politics and the struggle for better working conditions on the plantations.

After the murder of her friend Songola, a young activist, Karen heads to the remote estate of Arranoil, to find out why she was killed and what it had to do with the millions of dollars in missing aid – a corrupt and treacherous path leading all the way back to her own government.
