Vehicle 19

Michael Woods, an American newly released on parole, travels to Johannesburg and rents a car for what should be a routine trip. He soon discovers a gun and a bound woman locked in the trunk. She turns out to be a key witness in a corruption case involving the police, and Woods finds himself the target of a manhunt as officers try to silence her before she can testify. With no one to turn to, he must keep her alive and get her to court while clearing his own name.
