Like most white Afrikaners, James Gregory regards blacks as inferior, lowerclass citizens, despite the fact that he grew up also speaking their tribal tongue on a farm in the Transkei. Due to his proficiency with the Xhosa language, he is the ideal choice to become the warder in charge of Nelson Mandela and his comrades at Robben Island. After all, by speaking their language, he can spy on them without them ever knowing it. However the plan ultimately backfires. With Mandela's influence, Gregory slowly be comes aware of the injustices and crimes of his own people. Despite everything he was taught to believe about the blacks and even his wife's pleas for him to stay away from their cause, Gregory's allegiance gradually shifts from the racist government to the struggle for a free South Africa.
