Berry Morgan's father isn't around much since the divorce, until the day he shows up at Berry's school to tell her that her sister Laura is dead. While working as a volunteer at a school in Capetown, South Africa, Laura had been brutally murdered.

A year and a half later, he arranges a two-week trip to South Africa with Berry reluctantly in tow, to attend a memorial service at the school where Laura had worked. Berry's father has arranged some other activities as well: a business meeting in Johannesburg, a guided tour of Soweto from a mini van, and three days at Krueger National Park.

Berry and her father's painful journey forces them to look beyond their own grieving and bear witness to a country's tortured search for peace and reconciliation.
