Deep inside the jungles of Congo, Samir, on his peacekeeping mission, comes face to face with all the incredible challenges Africa has to offer. Cloaked in a cover of uncertainty, his only hope for surviving the mayhem of the brutal cannibals, gun-trotting child soldiers and the bloodthirsty belligerent rebels is his wit which he finds challenged every single day. As he lives through his ordeal, Africa surfaces to life with all her magnificence, seduction, gloom and gore from the pages of the books he read back home. Death hovers over his head like a cloud yet he is awed by the beauty of Africa, humored by the non-congruity of life and excited about his job of bringing peace in the war ravaged country.
