In Africa at the outset of World War II, a British rubber‑plantation executive reflects on his 1910 arrival in the Congo and recounts a volatile love‑hate triangle. Station superintendent Harry Witzel, a world‑weary veteran, doubts the abilities of Langford, a newly‑sent English manager on a four‑year posting. Both men become entangled with Tondelayo, a strikingly beautiful woman who craves silk and baubles. Their rivalry ignites manipulation, jealousy and revenge as loyalties shift and each vies for power, affection and survival.
