Synopsis:

While serving a 5-year sentence at one of Zimbabwe’s tightest prisons just outside of Harare, Tambu learns of the abuse of her daughter by her own brother back home. Fuelled by the passionate anger of a single mother, Tambu convinces fellow inmates Memo and Zoe to escape together with her.

The plan hangs on a thin thread, as rumours of the escape surface, fuelling an ongoing power struggle between one of the officers and the prison warden. Tambu seizes the moment during a prison ceremony by a popular pastor, and on the backdrop of the Zimbabwean coup in 2017, where president Robert Mugabe was ousted. The trio embark on a thrilling and dangerous prison break.

As we follow the 3 young women’s journey to freedom, we ask ourselves: How do you escape yourself?

On the day of Max’s recruitment, a threat presents itself. Athromira, a Dugaar (Dugaars are a savage race from the spirit world) is trying to capture Hayden, an operative of Fringe Division, and any other CSIA agent.

Athromira is on a quest for vengeance, and targets the CSIA, since its founder, Ronnel Dei Carl, was once an Army General in the spirit realm, before coming to Earth. Carl led a fierce war against the Dugaars and stripped Dar’El, Athromira’s father, of his glory as the father of the Dugaar species.

The Dugaars’ goal is to retrieve the Box of Knowledge, which is in the safe keeping of the CSIA, and destroy the integrity of the CSIA. The CSIA, despite the confusion of not knowing who was killing their agents, manages to stand against the Dugaars, and defeat them in a final supernatural fight.
