Nox and a rogue security guard named Elliot are involved in a robbery that goes tragically wrong.
Sibusiso who is Nox's bright straight-A student younger brother was fatally shot during a house robbery he was not supposed to be part of and Nox was arrested and spent time behind bars. The story begins after Nox is released from prison and returns to find her family.
Her family is still living in a shack and her mother Thandiwe continues to be a domestic worker. Nox's mother cannot forgive her for Sibusiso's death.
