While the vast majority of them choose to settle down in the economically vibrant South, an accident of fate takes Jaggi up North.Some 34 years later the boat people meet again - on board the luxury yacht of one of them, who is now a multi-millionaire businessman. He has organised the get-together to toast their collective success in their new homeland. But Jaggi finds he has little to celebrate about … and there are further shocks waiting for him.
