In a country in West Africa, the building site of a big French company is about to be closed down. Only Horn, the site foreman on the brink of retirement and Cal, an engineer, remain. The simultaneous arrival of a woman whom Horn has flown over from Paris to marry him and of a Black man who has mysteriously entered the city of White men to claim the body of his brother, who died the previous night on the site, ignites the latent violence in the situation.
