The story

In British-ruled Kenya in 1945, members of the Kikuyu tribe work for considerate white settler Henry McKenzie. Both in their early twenties, Henry's son Peter and black worker Kimani Wa Karanja are close friends, having been raised as brothers since the death of Henry's wife. One day, when Kimani asks to use a rifle during a lion hunt, Peter's brother-in-law, Jeff Newton, slaps him and reminds him that he cannot have the gun nor can he continue his friendship with Peter.
