The Mthembu family is torn apart: Khaya, a black policeman, grapples with his conscience while enforcing apartheid laws, a duty that forces him to confront his daughter Anele when she joins the student resistance; and a mother is forced to take work as a live-in maid through economic necessity, absent when her family needs her most. Their lives intertwine with a nation on the cusp of change, where personal sacrifices and moral compromises become the price of freedom.

In the Afrikaner heartland of Stellenbosch, disparate students come together on the campus of the Universiteit van der Stel. As these GenZs come of age, they’re forced to figure out who they are and where they fit in in the ever-changing South African landscape. At the heart of this drama are estranged childhood friends – Jacques Molenaar, son of a “Stellenbosch mafia” tycoon, and Riaz Jantjies, son of a Molenaar wine farm labourer. Old resentments blend with new rivalries as Riaz and Jacques fall in love with the same girl – student journalist, Corrie Kruger; and Riaz instigates a “Molenaar must fall” protest for the decolonisation of the Universiteit van der Stel.

When the King of the Zulu Nation suspects his son, Prince Themba is gay, he sends him away to boarding school to “straighten him out”. Gatsha, a poor boy from the village, receives a bursary to the same college. The two adolescent boys – one queer, one poor – arrive at the prestigious Kingsland College from Zululand, under pressure to each be what they are not. In a bid to survive the pressures of Kingsland College, Gatsha and Themba swap identities to each deliver on what is demanded of the other: Themba to become a ‘real man’, Gatsha to fit in with the privileged class and prove he is just as good as the prince. But how long can they pretend to be who they are not? Theirs is a story of coming of age and a journey towards adulthood, authenticity, and claiming their true identities.
