A double bill. First we begin a series of African Dramas with the story of 17-year-old Tereka who travels to America with his school music group after they win a national competition. Once in New York he runs away expecting success in America because he believes he looks just like a famous American actor. But the reality is a little different.
Then from New Zealand - Billy has to work through his guilt after injuring his mate Richard in a car crash. The only way is to turn the accident into a deliberate act of aggression. And what better arena for it than the old gun slinging West.
