When Jozi, as Johannesburg, South Africa’s city of gold is affectionately known, was chosen as the main venue for the 2010 Soccer World Cup, it produced an atmosphere of mingled excitement and anxiety. Along with the promise of national pride and prosperity lurked the ever-present awareness of crime, and this tension threatened to uncover long-hidden secrets. Suburban housewife Jeannie Parker believed that she and her husband Craig were in a happy and stable marriage until her sister Karen arrived from Sydney and spotted that Craig was hiding something. So began a test of Jeannie’s will and wits, the challenge to discover her own gold and fight to hold onto it.
