Twenty years have passed since the end of apartheid in South Africa. Eighteen-year-old Grace and her friends Brett and Louisa are 'born frees': children born after the election of Nelson Mandela, and whose lives are supposedly full of hope and endless opportunities. But beneath the happy surface of the born free spirit, all is not as it seems. Haunted by her personal demons, Grace is falling deeper into the dark. On holiday in a fishing village on the South African coast, Grace meets Spook who has spent most of his life running away from the responsibilities of the real world - just like Grace. Their attraction is instant, but Grace quickly realises Spook is hiding something. And when he disappears, leaving Grace behind with a bag full of money and increasingly violent threats from a gang of mysterious men, she will have to work out just who to trust - herself, or her first love ...
