When Menno Riebeek discovers that his son has gambling debts, he decides to settle them for him. But the creditors aren’t planning on letting him off so easily. In his desperation Menno employs someone, a contact found via his lawyer, to resolve his problems, without realising the consequences. Sascha feels her son and husband becoming more distant and wants answers, but her search for the truth comes to an abrupt end when a car accident blinds her. Menno suspects it was no accident. Each member of the family tries to find a way out, only to find themselves deeper in the web of lies and deceit. Till Menno decides that enough is enough. When darkness fell shows the dark side of our society, but also how easy it as an ordinary family to fall into the criminal underworld.
