A contemporary artist is determined to win a portrait prize by creating a captivating sketch of a rebel from the old Australian colony in Paraguay, known as Che Guevara. However, his brother is plagued by doubts about the rebel's heroic identity and feels compelled to conduct an investigation. The novel, primarily set in South America, delves into various perspectives on the truth in the remote landscapes of Bolivia, where Che aimed to ignite a widespread revolution. The investigation ultimately leads back to Sydney, where Ches ambitious dreams are still held in high regard, and the prize will soon be awarded. The counterfactual mysteries that need to be solved echo South America's own unique literary genre, magic realism, which reflects the post-modern world's imaginative yet often bizarre perceptions.
