A Christmas morning road trip turns awry after Justice Moloko and some members of his family rescue a strange looking farm labourer on a quiet stretch of road in the Free State. Shortly thereafter, they come under attack from mysterious gunmen. Months later, Justice and his uncle are coerced to come back to that lonely stretch of road to help in an unsolved murder. An ageing Zimbabwean businessman overhears two prostitutes talking about selling sperm to South African buyers. The conversation brings back harrowing memories of a past he no longer wanted to remember. On a Free State farm, a reclusive farmer becomes paranoid after a seemingly unconnected series of deaths. He surrounds himself with paramilitary security personnel, and waits patiently for a gang of farm murderers calling themselves the Children of Wisdom.
