Missing Lines by Design

In Jouberton, boundaries don't just divide land—they conceal truths. When municipal clerk Mpho Diale receives a map with a line that leans, he logs it like any other request. But the file resists closure. Reabatswe Botha, a returning local with a quiet urgency, wants answers. Together, they uncover a discrepancy buried in dusty archives and deliberate silence. As records vanish and officials tighten their grip, the town begins to shift around them. Some lines were bent long ago. Others are being erased right now. Missing Lines by Design is a taut, atmospheric thriller about truth, memory, and quiet resistance.
