Documentary film recounting the life of Basil O'Connell-Jones, a young white Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) who could never find fulfilment. As a teenager he was drawn to the hippie movement and drugs. After time away in London and several close encounters with the law he returned home to a racially fuelled civil war. Still trying to find himself, he enlisted in the Rhodesian Light Infantry; a highly skilled and controversial fighting force. During a deployment, Basil was shot in the head and was arguably dead in the field. In recovery and still desperate for answers he seeks for the truth knowing that death is a comma, not the end.
