In the vibrant coastal town of Mombasa, a young boy wrestles with haunting visions of an enigmatic force pulling him into the ocean. Seeking refuge from these nightmares, he befriends a group of street kids, finding companionship and a sense of belonging.

However, their camaraderie takes a dark turn when they coax him into a petty theft for candy. Caught red-handed, the boy faces the wrath of his furious mother, leading to a heartbreaking confrontation where he accuses his newfound friends of abandonment.

Their response, shocking and unforgiving, results in a harrowing moment where he's pushed into the treacherous waters, unable to swim. As he struggles for his life, it's his mother's courageous act that saves him, ultimately leading to a profound reckoning and the discovery of an unexpected bond amid the tumultuous waves of betrayal and redemption.
