Will feels as if he has no choice but to accept his posting to Nairobi. When your employer pays well and supports you, there has to be a little bit of give-and-take. Still, spending three months in Africa wasn't something that he saw in his future.
Thrown into a place that feels isolating and dangerous, Will has to learn to live and work in a place that's so very different from his Isle of Man home. The lifestyle is different, he people are different and, perhaps the most disturbing of all, everyone is allegedly openly homophobic and bigoted.

Sometimes all you can do is get through the ordeal. Sometimes, however, the ordeal itself reveals a new truth that changes your life forever.
