The production takes a look at a terrifying near future envisioned as the end of white monopoly capital in South Africa when Malema's EFF comes to power.
The tyranny that civil war brings, breaks families apart, a bond between friends is shaken, a country is divided between believers and non-believers, and whites flee. This causes a mirroring of Nazism in Germany under Hilter where millions were killed in the name of a revolution for its rightful landowners.
Paul and Zinga are two former fishermen on the Eastern Coast who are forced to live separate lives when civil war starts. Their three-decade-long friendship is turned into a feud when Paul joins Malema's Army and Zinga chooses to be part of the rebel group planning to overthrow the Tyrant. Paul plans Zinga's escape to a sanctuary in Mozambique where he can live as a free fisherman and feed his family. But when Athi's pregnant wife dies, all plans change…
