After his family was brutally killed in Nairobi, young Zulu Gathegi must find the courage to go on living and to overcome adversity. He works hard in school and finally attends a prestigious university and gets his degree in economics. Fulfilling a lifelong goal, Zulu boards a plane for Chicago in pursuit of the American Dream. The Windy City is filled with unexpected problems. Zulu thinks he has a great job, but when he arrives for work, the job is no longer available. With his Work Visa on the verge of being pulled, he accepts a job on the maintenance crew of a noted company. Zulu is used to hard work, but he longs to work in his chosen field. In hopes of advancing his education and career, Zulu returns to school. He meets some interesting people. Zulu is introduced to the struggles of young blacks. Quickly, Zulu is indoctrinated into racial inequality in the US. He marinates on the terrible disparity between the races. Worried about his people, Zulu plants seeds to change the status quo. Using his considerable intellectual acumen, Zulu shows his employer how they would be best served by creating a position for him. The company hires him, and his career takes off. Introduced to one of the world’s most influential and wealthy businessmen, Alexi Similich, Zulu’s life takes a dramatic turn. Zulu finds love, but his life is embroiled in intrigue. Used as a pawn in a global game, Zulu’s life reaches a precarious precipice. Similich is more than meets the eye. Zulu becomes Similich’s poster child for Black Rights. Similich offers his enormous resources to help Zulu fulfill his desire to help blacks attain true freedom, but there’s a catch. An African immigrant, Zulu Gathegi does not want to be involved in the silent and open racism going on in America. But sacrifices everything to take African Americans back to their ancestral home, Africa. He is caught in a crossfire of the cold war between the United States and Russia. Although he achieves phenomenal success and notoriety, something deadly appears on the horizon that threatens Zulu. His plans for taking his people Back to Africa are placed in jeopardy. In a life and death struggle, Zulu risks everything to save his people, his love and his life.
