In 1978 South Africa, amidst the oppressive reign of apartheid, two white political activists named Tim Jenkin and Stephen Lee find themselves locked up within the walls of the notorious Pretoria Prison. Despite the dire circumstances, the duo, affiliated with the African National Congress, refuse to succumb to defeat and embark on an extraordinary quest for freedom. Their ingenious plan, hatched inside the confines of their cell, promises a daring escape from the heavily guarded fortress that has trapped countless others before them. The film explores themes of resilience, courage, and determination against the backdrop of a deeply divided society, highlighting the lengths ordinary citizens were willing to go in pursuit of justice and equality.
