Plot edit
A young Moses Shezi grew up with the gift of seeing into the future. When his gift leads to the death of his mother, he keeps silent about his gift.
Now in his old age, Moses (Nimrod Nkosi) foresees his daughter Ntombi in danger. A series of visions show him four other strangers which he sets out to find in order to change the course of destiny: a conman, a gqom artist, a weatherman and a pastor's son, each with their own special gifts and conundrums.[3]
