The ambitious young police officer Alice Kunene arrives in Room 9, and is immediately thrown into the deep end with the case of a mystery death of a domestic worker, whose killer is suspected to be the Tokoloshe. Dubious about the methods of her fellow ‘Zombie Cops’, the level-headed Kunene tries to direct the investigation away from the supernatural and towards the rational. But gradually it dawns on her, that a leap of faith is needed to get to the bottom of Room 9’s special cases – everything bizarre, past, present, unsolved and unwanted.
