They need him to rat out his brother Simon. These two brothers run the streets of Johannesburg, they own the criminal underworld.
Ten years ago, these kings ran a heist, which led Mo to take the fall and go to prison for ten years. Expecting there to be some kind of fanfare for this ultimate sacrifice, there was none of that. None of his family members ever visited him in prison. To add fuel to the fire, Simon was now courting his brother’s wife, who had decided to leave Mo and get married to his brother.

A Detective Jasmine is trying to get the brothers but gets killed, leaving the trail cold. Now, Mo wants to leave crime, but Simon doesn’t take any of that.
