Room 9

In an alternate, parallel world eerily familiar to our own, in a city that could be Johannesburg or Kampala, Nairobi or Lagos, a war is being waged; a war between light and dark, between good and evil. This is the New Azania. The provinces as we once knew them in South Africa are no more. Instead this new world is divided into Sectors. Sector 1 is the old Gauteng. Sector 2 is the old Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State and the North West. Sector 3 is parts of the old Northern Cape and Lesotho. Sector 4 is areas in the old Eastern and Western Cape. Sector 5 is the old Swaziland and places like Kwazulu Natal's old Harrismith, Pietermaritzburg etc. Sector 6 is all of South Africa's old coastal towns. Standing in the way of perpetual darkness is a ragtag team, a special, under-the-radar division of the NAPD (the New Azanian Police Department) who deal exclusively with the paranormal, the supernatural, the sacrilegious, the twisted, and the unexplainable. This division, situated in a cavernous, dingy basement, called Room 9 is perceived as a shadowy unit, a backwater for every bizarre case, past, present, unsolved and unwanted. Other departments disparagingly refer to this team as "Zombie Cops". Young, ambitious, driven, straight shooting police officer ALICE KUNENE (27) is excited at the prospect of being transferred to this division, because it is her first post as Detective, but she has no real idea what Room 9 is and what cases she will be dealing with. She is thrown into the deep end on her first case, when a domestic worker is found savaged to death in a Killarney-like suburb, thought to be the work of the Tokoloshe. She immediately bumps heads with 57-year old Detective "DARKNESS" HARKNESS, the aging, grizzled, head of Room 9, because she is fundamentally a non-believer of all things supernatural. Alice is brought in, initially against her will, and indoctrinated in the ways of Room 9, which include working with key members of the unit, including research, 'Siri' using tech guru, RUBY PRINS (27), who despite being blind has preternatural powers of foresight, and Nigerian Voodoo man SOLOMON ONYEGU, an expert in all things paranormal. Welcome to the playground of the Devil, where Satanic cults, Muti murders, the Tokoloshe, Demons, Poltergeists, Zombies, Werewolves, Aliens, Vampires, and even a Mermaid, are all on the menu.
