The price of a bag of mangoes has just hit twenty thousand dollars in Zimbabwe. Incensed, hospital bus-driver Teddington Chiwafambira has become a man capable of anything. Expelling a group of mentally infirm patients and a couple of orphans at a small roadside settlement, he takes a larger fare from another stranded group, and unwittingly delivers the leadership of the MDC Youth Wing to Harare's main psychiatric ward. The story unfolds as a political farce as ZANU PF garner political mileage from the confusion and Teddington is rewarded with a farm and status within the war veterans. The two orphans are located and taken to the William Westward orphanage in Harare where they fall under the tutelage of an unlikely hero.
