A homeless teenage boy has been gruesomely murdered. Police Profiler Dr Clare Hart is brought into this claustrophobic township in the isolated part of Walvis Bay to work the case. To track down a monster with a taste for young male victims, Clare must enter the world of the desperate street kids who run the rackets of the dock. And Clare welcomes the distraction, a chance to distance herself from her rocky romance with Police Captain Riedwaan Faizal.
But when Riedwaan arrives to help with the investigation and try to salvage their relationship, it is clear that there is more at stake here than just their feelings. Now their lives – and the lives of others – are in danger.
