Storyline

A briefcase is passing hands, with everyone handling it exercising caution. It is put in a car and driven up
to a location where three men wait. It is handed to one of them and it almost slips from his hands. He
panics and begins begging but is immediately shot. The briefcase is then delivered to Mr. Ndalo.

Late at night, Joph walks up to Mr. Ndalo’s home, with a replica briefcase, and hacks into the home
security system. He creates a loop in the cameras and disables the motion sensors before using a rope
and a grappling hook to jump over the perimeter wall. He appears out of breath and takes a sniff from
an inhaler. He then picks the lock at the front door and gets in.

Using his tablet, he tracks something within the house and it leads him to Mr. Ndalo’s office. He then
leaves the rope on the desk and picks the lock on one of the cabinets in there. Once he opens it, he
removes the valuable briefcase and replaces it with the replica.
Meanwhile, Natasha is in bed with Mr. Ndalo. She ensures he’s asleep before she gets out of bed and
takes out a key from her side cabinet. She then leaves the room and heads over to James’ room. James,
upon seeing Natasha, is initially in panic. But then Natasha drags him to Mr. Ndalo’s office.

With James and Natasha coming in, Joph is forced to hide under the desk. Natasha then takes out the
replica briefcase and uses it to convince James to elope with her. To seal their decision, the two get
intimate over the desk and knock over an air freshener, which ignites Joph’s asthma. However, his
inhaler isn’t nearby and he is forced to play around with the lights in the house.

Mr. Ndalo wakes up and finds himself alone in bed. He calls out to Natasha, making Natasha and James
panic and rush out of the office. James takes the briefcase with him. Joph gets out from beneath the
desk and finds his inhaler.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ndalo goes looking for Natasha. In the process, he notices that James’ room is empty.
Eventually, he finds Natasha in the kitchen, drinking some water. They go back to their room, but Mr.
Ndalo ensures Natasha knows that he knows James isn’t in his room.

Joph leaves the house but when he gets to the wall, he realizes he left his rope in the office. He hides the
briefcase at a compartment within the gate and heads back into the house.

Back in the master bedroom, Mr. Ndalo enters the washroom and Natasha texts James. James urges her
to spike his drink and she does so. She then meets up with James and they hatch a plan to incriminate
Mr. Ndalo so he doesn’t pursue them. They head over to the office to find some evidence of criminal
activity. Joph finds the rope, but with Natasha and James returning, he has to hide beneath the desk
again.

Natasha and James find the evidence and get intimate again. However, Mr. Ndalo shows up and when
James tries tackling him, he ends up shooting his brother. Angrily, Mr. Ndalo pursues Natasha to the
living room where he corners her. Joph uses this opportunity to escape.

Natasha pleads with Mr. Ndalo and tells him that the cameras are watching. Mr. Ndalo reboots the
system and shoots Natasha. With the reboot done, the motion sensors alert Mr. Ndalo to Joph’s
presence outside the house. Mr. Ndalo chases after Joph and forces him back into the house, with some
beating.

Joph pleads with Mr. Ndalo and offers to help him cover up his crimes. However, Mr. Ndalo has his own
cleaner, whom he calls. He then tries shooting Joph, but his gun is out of bullets. Using Joph’s rope, he
ties Joph and heads into the kitchen to get a knife.

Joph finds Natasha’s phone and uses it to send a text that incriminates Mr. Ndalo. When Mr. Ndalo
returns, Joph offers to use his hacking abilities to delete the text in exchange for his freedom. However,
a look into Natasha’s phone leads to Mr. Ndalo discovering the plot to steal his briefcase. He goes
looking for it and finds the replica in James’ room.

Mr. Ndalo realizes that he has a replica and figures out that Joph must have taken the real one. He gets
back to Joph and begins beating him up as he demands to know where his briefcase is, which Joph
doesn’t admit to taking.
While he’s steal beating up Joph, a police car pulls up at the gate and two officers knock at the gate. Mr.
Ndalo and Joph come to an understanding, aided by Joph revealing where the briefcase is, so they may
both survive the encounter. Joph helps Mr. Ndalo hide the bodies before Mr. Ndalo goes to speak with
the officers.

The officers mention reports of gunshots and insist on coming in, stating that they are aware there’s a
dangerous criminal breaking into houses in the area. The officers state that they have a shoot to kill
order and Mr. Ndalo confirms that his home has been invaded. The officers then ask him to hide before
they make their approach to the house, guns at the ready.

Realizing the danger, Joph surrenders and comes out of the house. He is arrested and taken away. Mr.
Ndalo then heads over to the gate to search for briefcase, but he can’t find it. Just then, another group
of officers arrive and they state that they have no knowledge of the officers who came before them.

Joph and the officers who took him begin celebrating, revealing that they were working together and
none of them are actual police officers. They also have the briefcase.
