In a South African township, two brothers are charged with murder. An arduous-and transformative-journey lies ahead…

Lucky and Bongani pretend to be cool and in the know. To survive in a Cape Town township, they learned their lessons early: where to get drugs, where to get money, how to pick up girls and how to get rid of them. The two brothers share everything: the bed, the food and now even an accusation of murder. The first thing they get in prison is an unmistakable lesson about the rules there. No question, newcomers are always at the bottom of the hierarchy. They must learn quickly who may be attacked and who must be served; a matter of survival in jail. Out on bail, something special awaits them - an initiation of a different kind.
