Set against the backdrop of plague-stricken eighteenth-century Philadelphia, a young black preacher embarks on a quest to find a mysterious African woman, facing the harsh realities of a society divided by race. The narrative intertwines personal struggle with historical themes, echoing the Xhosa people's ritual of cattle killing as a symbol of resistance to European oppression. This journey explores the complexities of love and identity across America, Europe, and South Africa, weaving together past and present in a poignant reflection on societal divides.
