Sinopse

5. EXECUTE THE SENTENCE - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES

A bloody escape from a prisoner transport vehicle plunges the city into chaos. Four merciless fugitives, led by the hardened Kenshoff, are at large, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. With the police hot on their trail, they are desperate for an escape and will do anything, and hurt anyone, to secure it.

Far from the scene of violence, the renowned private detective, Obed de Swardt, the legendary wanderer detective, is enjoying a tranquil evening with his closest friends. The gathering is, however, suddenly and brutally shattered when Kenshoff and his cronies descend upon the home, searching for car keys. In a moment of courage, Obed’s friends turn the tables, gaining the upper hand on the dangerous criminals. But then, in a shocking turn of events that leaves his friends stunned, Obed does the unthinkable. He betrays them, siding with the convicted saboteurs. Why would a man of his stature turn his back on everything to help cold-blooded murderers?

Obed is drawn deeper into an underworld of deceit and vengeance. He discovers the escapees are not merely fleeing, but are also hunting a mysterious syndicate that betrayed them. Alliances shift as swiftly as flying bullets when a beautiful yet lethal female mastermind appears on the scene. She is a player with her own deadly agenda, one who completely changes the rules of the game. Caught between the police hunting him as an accomplice, the unstable criminals who could kill him at any moment, and a powerful organisation that tolerates no witnesses, Obed must rely on his razor-sharp instincts to survive. In this deadly situation, where the line between friend and foe blurs, one thing is certain. Before the sun rises, blood will flow. The only question is, whose sentence will ultimately be carried out?
