When Jakob Warsaw, a renowned black American, learns he will be offered a cabinet position, he decides to make his first visit to his hated birthplace, Bessedelya. Until faced with the prospect of a background check, he never discussed that small African country or the people responsible for giving him away as an infant.

Jake will discover a wonderful world whose culture and policies successfully deal with society's most difficult issues, and the cosmopolitan American will fall in love with Bessedelya's brilliant and beautiful presidential advisor, Dr. Hinda Raisal.

Upon his return to the States, a shocking event will force Jake to decide whether to accept the presidential appointment or to return to help his homeland survive an existential crisis.
