But the actual story started in 1961 with the birth of Nombeko Mayeki in a shack in Soweto.

Despite the limited resources, Nombeko manages to find a job as a housecleaner and eventually makes her way up to position of chief advisor for one of the world’s most secret projects. South Africa had developed six nuclear missiles in the 1980s and then willingly dismantled them in 1994. But there was a seventh missile which the world did not know about. Nombeko knows a little too much about the seventh missile and now she is on the run from the South African government and one of the best secret services in the world. Nombeko goes to Sweden which is now a nuclear nation, and the fate of the world lies in her hands. Will Nombeko be able to come out of this mess?
