When his uncle gets him a job at the Ministry of Technology, John leaves his village and begins to enjoy all the delights the city has to offer with his fun-loving girlfriend, Rose. But after getting involved in a difficult issue at work, and a brush with death in a dangerous suburb, John is troubled by an old dream of a diamond mine collapsing. Which of his dreams will come true?
