Book 2 deals with heightened insurrection in Cape Town in 1985-1986 during an intense period of police brutality, adding to the dangers of those living in the Cape Flats segregated townships. The action results in several deaths during the Pollsmoor march to release Mandela, The Trojan Horse Massacre, the Gugulethu 7 massacre and the Crossroads and TRC shanty "Fires of 1986" caused by government-supported Witdoek (White cloth) forces who laid waste to informal housing with several deaths and many people rendered homeless. Four young victims of the police violence, Curtis Fouche, Thembani Dlamini, Pat de Bruin, and Ebrahim Khan formulate their own radical plot. Their romantic entanglements complicate their dangerous plans for increased activism in the Mother City. Once again, Dr Stanley Gershon and his girlfriend, Fay Ismail get caught up in much of the action swirling around them, and, in the process, become involved with the infamous security policeman, Warrant Officer Hammer van Zyl. All the characters become embroiled in the political brutality of South Africa's struggle towards majority rule. Will they survive the violence on the Cape Flats, apartheid's dumping ground in the shadow of Table Mountain?
