Samenvatting:

In 1875 Hans Bengler, a young entomologist, leaves Sweden for the expedition of a lifetime to the Kalahari Desert where he hopes to find a previously undiscovered insect to name after himself and advance his career. Instead, after his long and arduous journey through the sands, he finds a small boy, whose tribe has been decimated by European raiders. Bengler decides to adopt the boy, names him Daniel and takes him back to Sweden. But Daniel cannot slip into an alien culture so easily and his isolation and increasing desperation lead to a chilling tragedy.
