For township cop Sizwe Miya , this is an opportunity to prove himself and earn the promotion he desperately needs. His boss and mentor, Venkse (Lotz), gives Sizwe the case but assigns a rookie cop, Legama (Gumede), to keep an eye on him.<p>Sizwe discovers that the homicide is linked to the Triad perlemoen smuggling in Cape Town. A Chinese shipping executive, Soong Mei (Nan), tries to seduce him into giving her information about the case.</p><p>Sizwe seeks advice from his former comrade Specialist (Mokoena), now a local crime boss. A tip from Specialist leads to a major abalone bust, but within hours the seized perlemoen is stolen.</p><p>Sizwe is promoted to detective on the back of the bust, but it's a bitter triumph; he's being played and he knows it. In a world where self-interest and corruption have overtaken loyalty and honour, Sizwe is left with no-one to trust. Integrity demands that he take the law into his own hands."</p><p><div class="dfp_atf-slot" data-not-loaded="true"></div><script type="text/javascript">
