Being locked down has a new meaning and it is either being locked in, locked out, or locked up. Sello Sedibe gets woken up by a loud noise outside his shack. When he checks he realises that it is the new government's military is storming through the township, dragging people from their homes. When he sees them coming for him, he tries to run, but they catch him. Just when they shove him into their truck, he locks eyes with his best friend, Amogelang Bokaba, out running the military. For a split second, Amogelang hesitates, torn between helping Sello and saving himself. Then he makes the only choice he can - he runs. Amogelang has lived his whole life sheltered by his middle-class parents and has never tasted struggle in his life, he also prides himself on always doing things by the book. Being on the wrong side of the law has never been where he imagined he would find himself, yet now under the watchful eye of the new government, he has to learn to survive as a fugitive. In his desperation to survive, he joins a crew of other fugitives and together they try to survive not being captured while having a common goal of escaping to a neighbouring township, to find help and save their loved ones. While on this quest, they lose more than their hope as everywhere they look and go proves that they have nowhere to hide. Township life will never be the same again.
