Twenty years ago, the young ‘Five Fingers' fought for the rural town of Marseilles, against brutal police oppression. Now, after fleeing in disgrace, freedom-fighter-turned ‘outlaw' Tau, returns to Marseilles, seeking only a peaceful life. But he finds the town under new threat and reluctantly fights to free it. Will the Five Fingers ride again?

South Africa in the Apartheid era: the community of Railway, attached to the remote town of Marseilles, are the victims of brutal police oppression. Only the young ‘Five Fingers' are willing to stand up to the police. Their battle is heartfelt but naive, until hot-headed Tau kills two policemen in an act of passion. He flees, leaving his brothers and friends behind, but his action has triggered a conflict that will change both Marseilles and the Five Fingers forever. Twenty years later, Tau is released from prison, now a feared and brutal outlaw known as ‘The Lion of Marseilles'. But, scarred and empty, he renounces violence and returns home.

Sudáfrica en pleno apartheid. La comunidad de Rallway, perteneciente a la lejana ciudad de Marseilles, es víctima de una brutal opresión policial a la que solo se atreven a oponerse los Cinco Dedos. Su lucha es sincera, pero ingenua, hasta que el impulsivo Tau mata a dos policías. Huye, dejando a sus hermanos y compañeros, pero ha desencadenado un conflicto que no solo acabará por transformar Marseilles, sino a la banda de los Cinco Dedos. Veinte años después, Tau sale de la cárcel, convertido en un brutal y temido delincuente, "El león de Marseilles". Sin embargo, lleno de cicatrices y vacío por dentro, decide renunciar a la violencia y regresa a casa.
