The film follows human rights lawyer Sarah Barcant (Hilary Swank) and Alex Mpondo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who find their lives changed forever by a hearing in the small town of Smitsriver. Police officer Dirk Henricks (Jamie Bartlett), is seeking amnesty for acts of torture he committed under the apartheid regime. Alex, once part of an illegal anti-apartheid movement, was one of Dirk's victims. Now living in New York City, Sarah returns home to Smitsriver to investigate Dirk’s crimes.
