Hedda had to flee the police and the city at dawn. She had no one to call, except her brother, Gizz. Over the course of a morning, we find out how Hedda and Gizz ended up where they are: hiding in a small hut on a Karoo farm. Against the backdrop of the vast landscape of the magical Karoo, Ashraf Jamal’s Deep Heat explores blood and water, violence, relationships, and the sometimes very thin thread that binds families together.
