Nicholas has long known he is different, that something shameful and unacceptable in him must stay hidden and denied. But South Africa's minority government are embroiled in conflict at the Angolan border and all white young men over 16 must serve two years of compulsory military service to defend the Apartheid regime and its culture of toxic racist machismo. The 'black danger' is the real and present threat; what is wrong with Nicholas and others like him can be rooted out, treated, and cured like cancer. But just when fear pushes Nicholas to accept unspeakable horrors in the hopes of staying invisible, a tender relationship with another recruit becomes as dangerous for them both as any enemy fire.male rear nudityapartheidmilitary traininghomophobiasouth africa119 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesFrom the Producer of the Oscar®-Winning IDA AND KOLYAGenresDramaRomanceWarCertificateNot RatedParents guide
