1988 South Africa teeters on the edge of a state of emergency. Seventeen-year-old Bradley Steyn crosses Pretorias Strijdom Square and walks straight into a massacre. Barend Strydom, the notorious white supremacist Wit Wolf, is mowing down black bystanders relaxing in the square during their lunch break. Bradley cradles a dying man in his arms and, later, with reports of eight dead and sixteen seriously injured, he is brought face to face with the insanity of the nation. Suffering from acute PTSD, unable to cope with day-to-day life, and consumed by rage, Bradley spirals out of control. His parents unwittingly initiate the next chapter in the story of the boy who crossed the square when they arrange for him to join the SA Navy. Here, angry and unable to work though his trauma, he is called upon by the apartheid regimes Security Branch to confront the threat of Communism, and the navy serviceman joins the dreaded D Section of the Security Branch as a classified government enforcer, but not for long, as the underground ANCs Department of Intelligence and Security (DIS) soon recruits him. On the political stage events are changing fast: FW de Klerk becomes president, the ANC is unbanned, and Nelson Mandela walks to freedom. However, undermining this progress, a sinister Third Force has formed an alliance between the deep state military intelligence complex: the neo-Nazis and the white supremacists. With these forces edging the nation toward a bloody race war, President FW de Klerk is forced to make a deal with Nelson Mandela. Bradley is part of the DISs plan to infiltrate this Third Force network before all hope for a free future is destroyed. He goes undercover to help unravel the extremists masterplan but will his time run out before they discover he is working for Mandelas Spies?
