Synopsis

The film is set in a South African hospital. A male nurse is assigned to care for a foreign President. With many threats against his safety, the President is heavily guarded around the clock. Sailor Slade manages to kidnap his patient for strictly personal gain, unaware that a hired sniper is still attempting to take the life of the foreign leader while in his custody. This leads to a series of curious plot twists leading to a climatic scene with cable cars on a high plateau ridge.
