Atlantis – Action

Ray drives one of her uncle Amir’s taxis, on the route into Cape Town. It’s a tough gig, but she’s a tough woman. Her ‘gaatjie’ is the wisecracking, Marid. In Amir’s taxi garage, late Friday night, Marid and two buddies search through the ranks of the taxis parked there. Marid finds the one he is looking for – his cousin Nazeem’s cab. The boys slash the backs of the seats in a frenzy and find the prize, bricks of cocaine. A sound makes them turn and Nazeem is behind them – a gun in his hand. Ray wakes with a start the next morning, Marid’s still not there. The taxi garage is buzzing. Pushing her way through the circle of cops and onlookers she fights to get a look at the bodies. A moment of dread, then the cop turns them over – Junaid and Nusrah.
