1974/5

After the Revolution of the Carnations, Portugal is transformed into a communist country. Capitalists are ruthlessly persecuted and the liberated Portuguese colony of Angola is thrust into one of the bloodiest civil wars in history.

The fabled Angolan diamond mines are closed down, but not before a group of refugees escape with a hoard of the precious gems. After a harrowing journey through the war-torn country, their lives promise wealth and success. But a legacy of revenge and greed will eventually find them all, with fatal consequences.

2008

A millionaire ex-pat drowns in the swimming pool of his mansion in Marbella; a wealthy Spaniard is killed while skiing in the Alps; a British businessman is the victim of a savage hit and run “accident” and Alvaro Cunhal's former bodyguard dies under mysterious circumstances.

This series of seemingly unconnected deaths sets two women - Jenny Bishop, a young English widow, and Angolan born Leticia da Costa - on a terrifying journey into the past to revisit the Portuguese revolution and the Angolan civil war.

Together they risk their lives to unlock a 30-year-old mystery that promises to change their destinies forever if they survive to reveal the truth.

Based on Christopher Lowery's best-selling novel, The Angolan Clan, The Angolan Clan takes the viewer on a heart-stopping roller coaster ride, from past to present and back again. It is a deadly intercontinental treasure hunt laced with dark secrets, deceit, and murder.

The prize is a fortune in Angolan diamonds...or death at the hands of a pathological killer.
