New Deon Meyer thriller film goes on tour in South Africa ahead of premiere
This local cinema release delivers suspenseful elements of the genre with the support of atmospheric cinematography, eerily quiet locations in the Karoo and a top-notch local cast in standout roles (which are a distinct departure from the characters they have played onscreen up to now).

Synopsis
Emma le Roux is on her way home to the family farm in the Great Karoo; pretty, soft little Emma, the pacifist primary school teacher. She has made the trip a thousand times without incident, but not today…
Today she will cross paths with Bosman, Baz, Jay, Boela, AJ and Piet. Bosman is the mastermind of the drug syndicate; a psychopath, he is savage and violent. Baz and Jay are his henchmen - murderers, monsters. AJ and Boela, spoiled brats looking for validation, are on board to make a quick buck in the criminal underworld. Then there is Piet, the weakling, who is willing to do just about anything for his cousin Bosman.
Emma witnesses them committing a murder and they see her seeing them. Now they are hunting her down like an animal. However, they do not know whom they are hunting and nothing is going according to plan; everything is falling apart, and fast. At first, they were driven by hate and revenge. Suddenly, it is survival…
