All our hero wants to do is build a bridge or two but he soon finds himself caught up in an unfolding historic drama. Change is coming to the colony and change is not asking nicely. Katsin dan Zaki will have only a little time to enjoy his civilising mission before the world turns upside down and he is fighting for his life.
