Bantu is back in his home town, having disappeared for many years, and his only hope is to be reunited with his estranged girlfriend. In his pursuit to win her back, he’s met with fierce resistance from people he had least expected. Not everyone is happy to see him.

Great turbulence finds its way to his home, almost shaking the whole township. Lies, betrayal and deceit are an order of the day. People are unsettled. Kept secrets resurface and hearts are broken, hell breaks loose and peace gets disturbed, leading to undesirable consequences. After agonizing heartaches and incessant disappointments, is there still light at the end of the tunnel?
