Thobela is a former freedom fighter who is trying to get used to the new South Africa. Things aren’t great, but he has his son, who he considers to be his link to the past. Then, the boy is murdered; taken from Thobela. And now, all he knows is despair and revenge. He becomes a vigilante killer and calls himself “Artemis.” The police put Benny Griessel on the case because Griessel cannot afford not to succeed. He’s about to lose everything, from his job to his family and even his own self-respect. This is his final chance at putting his life back together. Then Benny meets a young woman by the name of Christine who feeds her child by prostituting herself. And then, something happens that changes the world for everyone – Benny, Christine and Thobela.
