These children navigate the violent and poverty-stricken underworld of Lusaka, one of Africa’s fastest growing cities.When the dead body of a ten-year-old boy is discovered under a heap of garbage in Lusaka’s largest landfill, a murder investigation quickly heats up due to the influence of the victim’s mother and her far-reaching political connections.
