It's 1952 and the "Winds of Change" are beginning
to blow. African nationalism is gaining strength
- unrest and rebellion are in the air. The
unscheduled refuelling of the new young Queen's
plane at Entebbe Airport presents the perfect
opportunity for a lone assassin.
Rosemary is facing her own "Winds of change".
Has she lived too long in the shadow of her
District Commissioner husband? Is it time to
assert her independence? With the help of Flora,
an outcast "soul stealer" sculptress, Rosemary's
life begins to take a new path - a route that leads
straight to the would-be royal assassin.
