Ellis Hock always dreamed of returning to Africa - to the isolated village where he was happiest. Finally, he gets the chance. Arriving at the dusty village, he finds it transformed: the school he built is a ruin, the church and clinic are gone, and poverty and apathy have set in. Is his journey back an escape or a trap?
