In this fierce comedy set in an unspecified West African country, an American businessman, a flamboyant government representative, a young Christian missionary and his girlfriend are brought together by a birthday celebration. When one of them goes missing, they are forced to confront their benevolent notions of themselves and the realities of a dangerous world. The result is a brilliant and searing dramatic comedy you won’t soon forget.
