As Cape Town collapses into chaos during the Day Zero water crisis, a widowed IT technician must protect his asthmatic daughter while uncovering a conspiracy to sell off the city's reservoirs. His only hope lies in an uneasy alliance with vigilante Cape Flats gangsters and a disgraced female ex-cop who doesn't trust him, but may be the only one who can keep them alive. 

SYNOPSIS:

Lindi's asthma worsens as the water shortage intensifies, forcing her into a dangerous, air- starved environment. Riots erupt across the city.

Nala, the disgraced ex-cop, resurfaces, drawn back into the chaos by suspicions of mercenary seizures of critical infrastructure.

ACT II - Under Siege

The horrifying truth emerges: the city's reservoirs are being systematically siphoned off and sold to global profiteers.

Thabo, Nala, and the unlikely gangster Khalid form a fragile alliance, their survival dependent on each other.

Brutal set pieces unfold: intense township firefights, daring raids on remote dams, and claustrophobic chases through flooded underground tunnels.

The tension escalates as Thabo's intellect and Nala's raw combat prowess clash and converge.

Lindi, battling a severe asthma attack, faces imminent collapse, her life hanging by a thread until a miraculous, last-second rescue.

Resolution

The global cartel is exposed, and the corrupt minister falls from power.

Thabo and Lindi are reunited, their bond strengthened, as Nala finds a measure of redemption in her sacrifice and heroism.

The final image: taps running again, a symbol of hope, but with an underlying reminder of the fragility of resources and the ongoing threat of human greed.
