Terri, a sex-line operator, and Sandile, a dog handler, seem to have the perfect romance: Terri secretly yearns for freedom, while Sandile dreams of the day his girlfriend will admit that they’re meant to be. When Terri decides to teach English in Korea, the couple agree to take a break, but they encounter unexpected resistance: their friends and family are intent that they stay together, at whatever cost. What starts as innocent advice and isolated events soon become more sinister, and Terri and Sandile begin to suspect that there is a conspiracy at work to keep them in love, involving strangers, the city, the country and maybe the government – but why? Together they embark on an investigation that takes them across the city, consulting witchdoctors, priests, private investigators, and eventually into the frightening heart of their love for each other.
