After a brutal night that forces his mother to flee through a shattered window, Kundai is taken in by a harsh grandmother in Headlands, where he endures endless chores, abuse and a cold, unloving home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the odds, teachers like Miss Jones and Mr Matsokotere become beacons of hope, helping him escape to Dubi Farm where his mother works as a farmworker. There, he faces another tragedy when his best friend was taken by a flooded river health collapses. Rife kidnapings forced him to part ways with his mother as he headed to Headlands to live with Grandma.
