Summary: Orlando directs a refugee camp in West Africa after a failed career in PR. Viggo is a doctor sent to the camp by Médecins Sans Frontières. Viggo has a bit of an ego. Orlando is sexually frustrated. Add in some political intrigue, blatantly left-wing politics, people dying from starvation, a staff with serious baggage, a couple goats, a few hundred bags of millet, and some mosquito nets and you get a glimpse into life on the edge of the Sahara.
