The title story follows the arrival of European mining interests in a traditional African village after a gold concession is granted. It explores the massive cultural and physical shifts that occur when a quiet community is suddenly integrated into the late 19th-century gold rush economy, ultimately detailing how the promise of immense wealth brings bith prosperity and deep tragedy to the local population. The main novella is a realistic fiction piece heavily influenced by Ingram's own real-life experiences as an exploration representative trying to secure land concessions in Southern Africa.
