- Synopsis
- Outside a high-rise building in Hillbrow the lives of ZOLA, a cash heist suspect with the police hot on his heels and KEZZY, a young woman who also happens to be highly pregnant, collide in one violent moment.
  
  Zola takes Kezzy hostage and they disappear inside, but the chances of them coming out alive are not all that good.
  
  Criminal kingpin RASHID lives on the top floor he has captured the building, and interlopers are never welcome.
  
  An elite SWAT team is sent in to get them out. BENNO is the rookie and has a lot to prove, to himself as well as to the squad, but no way can any of them know the trouble they are about to walk into.
  
  The squad is looking for Zola and his stash from the heist, but their very presence in the building has stirred the righteous anger of Rashid. Violence is his natural response, and he will unleash all of his power to deal with the invaders, maybe finding a way to profit at the same time.
