Only three years have passed since his family in his home country Uganda was eradicated by the dreaded rebellion army and he himself was brutally kidnapped and made a child soldier. In the army he gets the name Head Hunter, and his job is to chase and kill young deserters. One day he is sent to Norway to kill to young officers who have run away from the war in Uganda. At the same time, however, Nelson harbours his own plans of revenge.
Nelson is worn out and desperate. But then he meets Roxanne and Arta. Both girls have a dramatic history, even if they are very unlike Nelson’s. This is a meeting which is to influence the three of them for ever.
