A few months ago Sphe (Pearl Monama) unknowingly fell for serial killer Winston (Lehasa Moloi) who used her desperation for love to lure her into his trap. For weeks Sphe was locked up in a cage and tortured, but she overpowered him and escaped in March. But that trauma still lingers in her mind. "She keeps getting flashbacks of the horrific things he did to her. Locking her up in a cage, hanging her from a tree... Sphe is currently living off anti-anxiety pills that her doctor ex-boyfriend Luyolo (Karabo Maseko) prescribed her," says Pearl. "She's suffering from PTSD and keeps having dreams of Winston showing up at her house. She feels like she will never really be free until Winston is behind bars."
Even her uncle Nkosiyabo (Muzi Mthabela) is worried about his niece. "She hasn't been the same ever since that incident with Winston. He feels helpless because she has to decide to do something about her fear," Muzi says. So now it's time for Sphe to take back ownership of her life, not just for her young daughter, but for herself. But getting her power back may lead Sphe down yet another dark path...
