Silas Ali is a successful lawyer who works as a liasonofficer for the government, post-Apartheid, during Nelson Mandela’s term in office in 1998. He is married to his attractive wife Lydia and together they have an 18-year-old son Michael.
Silas witnesses the rape of Lydia in 1978 at the hands of an Afrikaner policeman he would later bump into at a shopping mall. They had both kept this secret between them for decades and Lydia only spoke about it through her diary entry.
She can’t shake off the suspicion that this particular policeman could be Michael’s biological father. As their marriage crumbles Silas moves to Europe to start afresh while Lydia decides to leave him for good and Michael gets a gun that he uses to kill the said policemen man after reading his mother’s diary.
