Siblings, Thulani and Zanele, journey through life knowing that they have no one but each other to lean on.

With Alexandra Township in South Africa serving as a vibrant backdrop, the siblings escape one tragedy and build a life together where big brother Thulas is overprotective of his younger sister.

As we witness Zanele’s coming of age story in a neighbourhood where there seems to be no escape, she starts making decisions that put her in harm’s way.

As a result, the two share a very strained relationship and Zanele is driven into the arms of an older man, as her way to rebel and escape what she thinks is a bleak future.

Thulas, determined to put an end to this relationship is overcome by rage and this leads him to make a decision that ends in a tragedy.
