Story
As a child, Ali Neuman narrowly escaped being murdered by Inkhata, a militant political party at war with Nelson Mandela's African National Congress. Only he and his mother survived the carnage of those years. But as with many survivors, the psychological scars remain.
Summary
Raised amidst South Africa's political turmoil, Ali Neuman narrowly escaped an Inkatha militant attack that claimed his father and left him with enduring psychological scars. Now Cape Town's top homicide chief, Neuman leads alongside Brian Epkeen, a white officer with apartheid ties but unyielding dedication. Together, they grapple with escalating crime in marginalized communities, now compounded by the emergence of a potent new drug and two brutal murders. As they delve into the city's underbelly, shadows of apartheid persist, threatening to derail South Africa's fragile reconciliation.
