In the year 1878, amidst the scorching heat of the South African sun, a brutal war looms on the horizon. Yet, for the soldiers stationed at the dreary maritime barracks of Chatham, the prospect of journeying to this exotic land is an opportunity they cannot resist. Among them is Albert Bond, a young lieutenant and academy graduate, who is plagued by the ruin of his family's fortune and desperately attempts to cling to the status of his wealthy upbringing. However, he is soon forced to reassess his aspirations, morals, and feelings concerning class and rank as he realizes his growing affection for his handsome batman, Jack Coleman. Jack Coleman, a man of humble origins, grew up as the lowest of the low, but his social disadvantages fail to suppress his optimism and willingness to take risks, attributes that Bond cannot help but admire. As the two men come to rely on one another for comfort and companionship amidst the animosity and indecision of war, their relationship begins to shift. But in a time of deep-rooted institutional and societal prejudice, will their intimacy blossom into something tangible? The epic Babanango trilogy chronicles a fight for survival against the backdrop of the emotive Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, a heart-wrenching LGBTQ+ tale of the brutalities of love and war.
