A night like no other in Cape Town. A mother loses track of her child when she leaves him alone in search for a way to earn money to buy his medicine. A policeman faces up to the demons from a traumatic childhood. A young nurse clings to a disintegrating bubble of fantasy to avoid facing real life. An up-and-coming art director is confronted by his fear of connection. One city, many intertwined lives – changed in a single night.
