Alex, um cientista de laboratório que detesta trabalho no campo, está num caminhão cruzando o deserto da Namíbia. Sem verba para seu projeto, Alex tem de aceitar outros trabalhos para levantar dinheiro. Mas este, que Alex está achando o pior dia de sua vida, vai ficar ainda pior. Uma chamada de rádio informa que três garimpeiros desapareceram no deserto. A equipe de Alex vai investigar e descobre um massacre: três corpos destituídos de carne, em volta de uma formação rochosa. Teria um dos garimpeiros matado seus companheiros e fugido pelo deserto? A tensão cresce naquela mesma noite, quando Alex vê uma figura sombria levantando-se perto dos restos mortais dos garimpeiros. A criatura desaparece na escuridão quando Alex levanta-se em pânico. A trilha das pegadas, à luz do dia, leva a equipe a um enigma, que só será decifrado depois, quando as sombras descerem novamente sobre o deserto e a noite trouxer à tona o inferno e seus demônios.

Charterston Township 1990. Professor Zamani is respected in the township. To be sure, he once raped one of his students but the community turned a blind eye. Zamani used to rail against the apartheid system but those days are long gone. Now he teaches South African history in the Afrikaner language and grudgingly organizes the picnic for National Day, which commemorates the Boers' massacre of the Zulu nation... When Zani, the rape victim's brother, returns from Swaziland where he won a place in school, he is determined to change everything. In the small hours, in the waiting room at Johannesburg station, he runs into Prof. Zamani, who's spent the night on the town. They travel back together to the harsh reality of the township. In due course, Zamani regains some of his pride and Zani, inevitably, loses some of his...under the gaze of the women, who never renounced their dignity.
