“Bulibasha is leader of the great Mahana family of shearers and sportspeople.  Rupeni Poata is his arch enemy.  The two families clash constantly: in sport, cultural contests and, finally, in the Golden Fleece competition to find the greatest shearing gang in New Zealand.  Caught amid the conflict the teenager Simeon, grandson of Bulibasha and Ramona, struggles with his own feelings and loyalties as the battles rage endlessly on.”
