The general elections in Zambia are over, and a new winner has emerged. With the change of government comes the change of the national policy. Socialism and Marxist Leninism gets thrown out of the window, and capitalism makes its way in. Private ownership and liberalization of the economy that used to be mere campaign slogans are now to going be put into practice.
Vince Kunda is now acting head of the Special Investigations Team on Economy and Trade (S.I.T.E.T.), the organization that investigates money laundering and corruption cases. He finds himself at loggerheads with Archie Moyo, his former case officer. Archie is a high ranking official in the new government. Personality clashes between them that used to be glossed over in the past have become apparent, and grown canyon wide. Since Archie now has easy access to arms of government that he can use to enforce his wishes, Vince faces the prospect of coming out second best in all these clashes.
Seen as a relic from the old regime, and S.I.T.E.T. that he now heads as a tool of mass oppression, Vince has to make a choice. He realizes that both he and the organization are seen as not being in tune with the new national policy. In a case like that, only two options are available; you either reform, or you get thrown out of the system.
As if that is not troubling enough, Vince finds himself on the front pages of daily newspapers, exposed as the new head of the ‘dreaded’ S.I.T.E.T. That revelation opens up a Pandora’s Box. Ghosts from the past recognizes him as a long lost heir to chiefdom in the northern region of the country, but unfortunately, the reigning chief is a friend of Archie.
And then there is Helen, the ever efficient secretary at S.I.T.E.T., who has demons that only stir up when she has taken one too many bottles of beer.
