Synopsis

Nina, a young, up-and-coming singer, mysteriously loses her voice after undergoing surgery for her vocal cords. Desperate for answers, and unable to obtain any reasonable explanation scientifically, her budding career collapses, and her life begins to spiral out of control. A now mute Nina finds comfort in Herbert, a now infamous soccer star who seems to have lost his talent for the game overnight. The duo cross paths with an ageing writer who, despite his arthritis, is adamant that his gift for writing was stolen from him. Piecing together that they all had surgical procedures done at the same clinic, the trio's trail leads them on a daring manhunt for the man they believe to have stolen their talents and sold them off to high-end, untalented clientele. Hellbent on reclaiming what was taken from them, the trio forces the man who robbed them to reveal the secret underground world of the talent market as they trace each person whose gifts were sold to. The writer's gift was sold to a failing university student from a wealthy family. Herbert's talent was sold to the striker of a rival team. And Nina discovers that her estranged mother, a has-been singer of the past, purchased Nina's voice for herself.
