Ná drie jaar in die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens is konstabel Alex Steytler gewoond aan die roetine van douvoordag opstaan, inry Kaap toe, op ’n trein klim en twaalf ure lank trokke of stasies patrolleer. Die lelike kant van die lewe is waar hy werk, anders as Tasha in die woonstel langsaan wat haar kamera op die mooi fokus.

Maar nou het sy vriend en medebeampte hom by nog iets ingesleep, en hierdie keer is dit nie so eenvoudig soos ’n motorfiets koop nie. Nee, Pyper wil by die duikeenheid aansluit, want treintrappe, tikkoppe en messtekers bied klaarblyklik nie genoeg opwinding nie. En nou staan Steytler tot by sy naeltjie in ’n rivier vol riool op soek na die slagoffer van ’n boendoehof.

Dis net die begin. Om lede van die duikeenheid te word, sal hulle behoorlik aan die diep kant ingegooi word. Toe Steytler vroeg in die jaar tussen die stukke van ’n treintrapslagoffer gestaan het, kon hy nie weet dat hy teen die einde sy eie stukke sal moet bymekaar maak, of moontlik dele van homself vir ewig verloor nie.
