The text reads:

Dingane Luthuli, a freshly unemployed 20-something in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, receives a box in the mail that was kept by his late father. Idle and intrigued, he embarks on a project to catalogue the contents of the box, but quickly gets more than he bargained for. Haunting secrets await in the writings and belongings of his father, and each new discovery pulls Dingane closer to the truth - to the sinister shadows that
lurk within the city he calls home.
