- Entrapped in his apartment, Randal Hendricks, a recent paraplegic, is given a gift of binoculars by his devoted girlfriend, Pam. But Randal is in financial debt to Emmie, a sadistic loan shark, and when he witnesses a powerful criminal, named Lawyer, commit murder while observing his neighbours through binoculars, he initiates a treacherous blackmail scheme. Involving Warren, his halfwit friend with unabashed lust for Pam, is probably going to cost him, but with few people to turn to, Randal does it anyway and as circumstances become more complicated, Pam is embroiled in the unravelling chain of events. Before long, a detective, named Gail February comes snooping around the neighbourhood, looking for the missing corrupt cop - her partner. As Lawyer begins his own investigation in an attempt to find his blackmailer, Emmie compounds the pressure of his looming deadline, and Detective February's investigation draws her ever closer to Randal, the wheelchair-bound Randal must rely on the physical capabilities of his reluctant girlfriend to see their plan through. With deception and greed around every corner, what follows is a thrilling ride that puts both of their lives in mortal danger.
- Paying homage to the Hitchcock classic Rear Window, Number 37 tells the story of Randall, a gangster recently crippled by an injury sustained in a gang fight. Wheelchair-bound and cooped up in his apartment in a rough Cape Town neighbourhood, with no one to support him except his devoted girlfriend Pam, Randall is heavily indebted to his former gang-mate and sociopathic loan shark named Emmie. With no way of paying the money back, he despairs for himself and Pam as Emmie violently demonstrates what will happen if Randall doesn't settle his debt before the end of the week. However the gift of a pair of binoculars from Pam enables him to watch the shady comings and goings in the apartments across from his - initially it was intended as a toy for helping him kill time. However, this presents him with an opportunity to get his hands on the money he so desperately needs - but at great risk. One night, Randall bears witness to a weapons deal gone horribly wrong. The drug dealer/gangster, nicknamed "Lawyer", living in the apartment block directly opposite his kills a well-known corrupt cop in the botched weapons deal. In the middle of the night, they get rid of the body while Randall, unbeknownst to them, witnesses their every move. Randall's initial instinct is to contact the police and report what he's just witnessed. However, its not long before his criminal reflexes kick in and he finds himself devising a scheme to blackmail and extort the cash from the botched weapon's deal that Lawyer and crew now have in their possession.
