Description
It's 1983 and the South African government is under pressure to come up with effective ways of keeping an eye on liberation movements inside the country and in exile, particularly the organisation of Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress. Spooks seem the best and only option...
Emmah Theron, the star journalist of the Daily Telegram, has been kidnapped and the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) are the prime suspects. The South African Police's elite Special Branch, a counter-terrorist unit, views the alleged kidnapping as revenge against its top operative, Captain Izak Potgieter, who is engaged to the missing journalist.
In what can only be treasonous in apartheid South Africa, Emmah falls in love with her alleged kidnapper and gets so immersed in MK operations, she becomes the most wanted woman in the country. Izak takes it upon himself to hunt down the couple. To achieve this, he assembles a ruthless commando made up of his former South African Defence Force comrades, hardened men who saw action against SWAPO and the Angolan army, at the South West tip of Africa.
Meanwhile Daily Express journalist Dumisani Nhlapho discovers that funds from international donors meant for the ANC, were intercepted by the Special Branch but instead of being handed over to treasury, went to fund lavish lifestyles of the unit's operatives. Now, he and his editor Trevor Nawa are in danger, as the Special Branch operatives will do anything to ensure the information does not reach the public domain.
Izak soon discovers that not all had been as it seemed and that he has been an unwitting participant in an espionage operation, Emmah being at the centre of it all.
