Murder in a public park, the daughter of a jailed mob boss is kidnapped and so the action begins. All this violence is just to be a warning, and put pressure on, a jailed mobster to prevent him spilling all to the authorities. The mobster"s gardener is arrested for the murder, lively courtroom drama ensues and the lawyer and his private investigator are hired to find the missing child. The search leads to a mob farm on the Highveld near Johannesburg, into the slums of Hillbrow then into the township of Soweto. This is followed by a mad dash into neighbouring Zimbabwe to rescue the investigator"s young brother in law from a group of rogue Zimbabwean soldiers involved in rhino horn poaching and reaches its terrifying climax in an encounter with an enraged Hippopotamus in the Limpopo riverbed.
