false 2082114 1 Sixteen-year-old Davey Baker is in the attic when the militia comes to Edenfields to reclaim his familys farm. Locked in shock, he witnesses the brutal murder of both his parents. The neighbouring farmers, Mike and Marsha De Wethis parents closest friendstake him in and try to care for him. They look to cope, like their people have always done. But Davey is on a different path. One night he escapes from school and embarks on a harrowing journey across Africa, eventually coming home to Edenfields Farm, searching for redemption.
