Stephen Kumalo, a Zulu pastor, takes the train to Johannesburg in search of his son Absalom, of whom he has heard nothing for many months. Unfaltering courage and simple faith lead him through a country now alien to him, past people to whom he is invisible, in search of a son and in search of answers to the questions that haunt him: what is justice? what is freedom? where is hope?
