Sinopsis

Marcus Botha, a ruthless 1960s South African mining and shipping tycoon, reinvents himself as a UK media magnate whose sensational publications capture a nation in flux. Two decades later, as the echoes of apartheid recede, his dark past threatens to overrun his dazzling empire.In a world where scandal and power collide, Botha?s newspapers chronicle everything from celebrity sex scandals and AIDS hysteria to the seismic shifts of political upheaval-the Poll Tax riots, the Hillsborough disaster, and the waning of Thatcherism. Behind his defiant public stance against extradition, a perilous undercurrent of financial misdeeds and past transgressions simmers, as a disastrous foray into satellite TV puts everything at risk.When the carefully constructed façade begins to crack, one fateful twist promises to shatter the empire. Can Botha?s crimes remain forever buried?
