Two years after the first democratic elections in Johannesburg, Black journalist Thandeka lives in fear of her country's past to the point of no longer being able to work and going from failure to failure in her relationship with her deaf-mute daughter Mangi. One day, an old woman, Me'Tau, shows up at the newspaper. Ten years earlier, Thandeka witnessed the murder of this woman's daughter Dinéo by a secret-police team, and she wants the journalist to help her find the culprits and make them confess where the body was buried, so that Dinéo's remains can be buried according to tradition. What the two women do not know is that the three assassins are prowling around them. What Me'Tau cannot know is that Thandeka has already paid for this story, for daring to confront the white apartheid machine.
