Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mbeke is not a man to be mocked. When a schoolteacher's online post cuts too deep, he issues a quiet command, arrest and shut him up. But what begins as a simple backdoor order spirals into something far more sinister. The teacher ends up dead. And with his death, the country ignites.
Streets fill with fire. Protesters chant for blood. Revenge becomes a currency too easily spent. Behind the scenes, old scores surface and powerful men move their pawns with chilling precision. Bodies drop. The truth is buried and in the shadows, something darker is born.
In a country where orders descend from above and justice never quite reaches the ground, one question lingers-
when the state kills in silence, who will speak for the dead?
