South Africa in the second half of the 1980s: violence seems to explode. The British manager Michael Young realizes that only a peaceful solution can save the profits of his company (Consolidated Gold Fields). He is organizing a conference at Mells Park House, a Somerset country estate which u. a. the ANC representative Thabo Mbeki and the Professor Esterhuyse as representatives of the Boers attend. Despite the highest level of secrecy, South Africa's secret service chief Barnard is well informed. He tries to make Esterhuyse his informant and gets in touch with the imprisoned Nelson Mandela in order to split the black resistance movement through clever tactics.
