It follows three complex and beautifully drawn characters: Jameel, a Media Studies graduate working at Shoprite; his cousin Zaid, a Bolt driver building a porn website; and Stacey, an unemployed Geology graduate who performs in Zaid's videos for money.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Zaid's website attracts a supposed investor, the trio attends what they believe will be a straightforward business meeting. Instead, the encounter turns deadly. Zaid is murdered, Stacey is kidnapped, and Jameel is forcibly recruited into a gang.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAction-packed and emotionally charged, this masterfully crafted story balances gut-wrenching tragedy with unexpected moments of wit and humour.
