Synopsis

The Gold Coast Lounge, run by John Donkor’s crime syndicate, is a popular haunt for the criminal element of colonial Ghana. With the independence of the country looming, the Lounge is threatened with closure by the new government. At this time, Donkor himself is in prison, with the lounge being managed by Donkor’s lieutenants, Daniel and Wisdom.

Both taken in from a young age by Donkor, Daniel and Wisdom soon developed a fierce rivalry that continues to this day. The rivalry only intensified as Donkor considers Daniel his heir apparent, alienating Wisdom further.

After their leader is killed, the eldest must take over; then comes insurrection and criminal investigation. ^{[4] [5] [6] [2]}
