Synopsis

Set in the slums of a small fishing community on the southern coast of South Africa, illegal abalone poaching has become a dangerous activity for two young brothers: Jimmy and AB. Jimmy fled the dangerous lifestyle despite his talent as a diver. When AB becomes entangled with Gonyama, a violent gangster, Jimmy devises a plan to liberate AB from the gang lifestyle and provide the pair with a fresh start.[4] However, when Jimmy is given an opportunity to escape, nothing can prepare him for what comes next.
