Plot

Three generations of South African women find themselves cleaning crime scenes for local gangsters to save their family business, but as family secrets are revealed, they realise you never fully clean up the mess the dead leave behind.

Bria's world was shattered by the suspicious death of her father Ezra two years ago. While her immigrant mother Colleen and grandmother Toi keep the family dry cleaning business afloat, Bria is hellbent on uncovering the truth. When they discover unpaid taxes have crippled the business, the women struggle to accept that Ezra's legacy may also die. Bria's investigation leads her to witness a gangland murder, which the three clean up in exchange for settling their tax debt. As she gets closer to the truth about Ezra's death, Bria becomes entangled with crime boss Matteo. Meanwhile, Colleen starts dating a policeman who knows more than he lets on, and Toi conceals her terminal illness from her family. Everything falls apart when Toi collapses during a job, drawing attention from authorities and Matteo's wrath.—Sebastian Bertoli
