Six-foot five-inch Thobela "Tiny" Mpayipheli was once a feared assassin and freedom fighter, trained by the Stasi and KGB. In post-apartheid South Africa, he's happily working in a garage. But Tiny‚¬„s quiet domestic life is interrupted by a desperate plea from the daughter of a trusted old friend: he‚¬„s being held hostage after taking an incriminating hard drive and needs help. Tiny‚¬„s old training kicks in, and as he races across the South African landscape on a stolen BMW motorcycle to the rendezvous point, he is pursued by several interested and hostile forces, including South Africa‚¬„s Presidential Intelligence Unit. None of them have a clue what they‚¬„re up against.
