Synopsis:
Set in the slums of a small fishing community on the Southern coast of South Africa, the drowning depths of illegal abalone poaching has become a dangerous life from which Jimmy, a legendary ex-diver, has to escape. Wanting to save A.B, his rebellious young brother, from Gonyama, the violent gangster whom A.B admires, Jimmy devises a plan to give him and A.B a new beginning and a new life. But on a stormy winter's day when Jimmy gets his chance to escape, nothing can prepare him for what happens when his plan goes horribly wrong.
