In 1948, twelve-year-old Fintan travels with his Italian mother, Maou, to Onitsha, on the banks of the Niger, to join his father, Geoffroy, an English employee of United Africa who is searching for traces of Meroe. The city and its characters fascinate mother and son, but the colony marginalizes them, and that experience will mark Fintan forever.
