Gert De Jager was a South African offender who was charged with the abduction of six girls never to be found. He was imprisoned in 1994 , where he gave his statement.

Coming to the story, a detective working on the human or you can say child trafficking case suddenly gets a lead through a murder. The victim was an old offender murdered brutally with initials carved on his chest. The initials are of one of the six missing girls.

So the case gets on track recovering lot of kids from being trafficking and murder of more offenders the same way, carved initials on their chest. Turned out that one of those six actually got away and becomes a vigilante, committing the murders and saving lives. But the mystery is yet to solve by detective.

The movie is quite interesting and raise lot of questions about the crimes of human trafficking which has a very low recovery rate of only 1%.

The acting and direction were both good making the film interesting and watchable. Although the critic reviews are very low according to me. I agree that the movie becomes a bit slow while coming to the ending and those 15 extra mins could have cut short. But still it’s a good watch.

Rating: 7/10
