In 1990s South Africa, a former liberation hero turns into a heist king while an Apartheid cop seeks redemption. The series follows two complex characters—Alex Shabane, a freedom fighter returning to the country, and Detective Sakkie Oosthuizen, a broken Apartheid cop. Their lives intertwine amidst the country's emerging rainbow nation, where great promise is on the verge of being irrevocably lost. The story revolves around Alex's audacious cash heists that embarrass the new government, leading to his appointment as detective Sakkie Oosthuizen's partner in finding and arresting him. While Shabane defies the law with brazen confidence, Oosthuizen grapples with health issues, grief, and a dysfunctional police force. Their contrasting lives reflect the complexities of South Africa: between its painful past and hopeful future. Yet, freedom is never truly free as they navigate through the country's tumultuous history.
