A vengeance-filled mother, enraged by the miscarriage of justice over her daughter's brutal murder, traps the ruthless gangster responsible and his gang of killers in an abandoned factory, intending to elicit a taped confession. But nothing goes according to plan, when the bait for the trap happens to be the gangster's younger brother and her dead daughter's lover.

Three separate stories create a gripping yet compassionate portrait of small-town characters immersed in the intimidating, alluring, and dangerous world of big-city Johannesburg and Soweto.
