When Dimitri Alfieri was ambushed, he was shot twice as a lesson. The money he was carrying to be laundered, was stolen.

He never saw who it was, he can't prove anything but he believes the Hout Bay family need the money, they have the military experience so they had to be behind it.

When a significant portion of the money is subsequently dumped in a public park, he becomes increasingly unravelled.

Cesar Quevedo, the abalone poacher, his ally and only friend, is no stranger to ruthless violence. But he has his own problems. His earlier killing of an abalone poacher to send a message comes back to haunt him when an attempt is made on his life, leading to more violence and deaths.

Now it is about to become personal. Dimitri Alfieri vs the Hout Bay family. He would like to believe that his friend Cesar, has his back. But Cesar is, inexplicably, in love and revenge is no longer part of his thinking.
