Aging farm laborer Nukain has spent his life transforming the rocks at Revolver Creek into a vibrant garden of painted flowers. Now the final unpainted rock as well as his young companion Bokkie has forced Nukain to confront his legacy as a painter a person and a black man in 1980s South Africa. When the landowner's wife arrives with demands about the painting the profound rifts of a country hurtling toward the end of apartheid are laid bare.
