- Synopsis
- Vusi, a black cop in small town South African, and John,
  his white partner and best friend, make a dubious
  decision to steal a stash of cocaine during a sex
  trafficking bust. Both are desperate for cash: Vusi to
  leave this rural town in pursuit of a better life in Joburg;
  John in order to save his family farm which is facing
  foreclosure. After they conclude their deal with local
  crime lord Mongo, they are called to the scene of the
  murder of Melissa Van Der Walt, the 17-year-old daughter
  of the local butcher. Tensions simmer in the town as
  some white citizens jump to the conclusion that the
  murderer must be black. Initially the investigation points
  to Melissa’s ex-boyfriend, Hennie, but when his alibi
  holds, Vusi and John pursue the next probable suspect,
  Sonnyboy, a 20-year-old black boy with a history of
  crime, who was dating Melissa at the time of her death.
