Abstract

Soweto, South Africa. Sox is a young black actor from a wealthy family. His upbringing has ostracized him from the Black community, but his skin keeps him from the White one. Then he gets the opportunity of a lifetime: a gangster part in a television series. But Sox has lived a sheltered life. In order to play the role, he must get street-wise and fast. He hooks up with Zama, a childhood friend turned criminal, who agrees to teach him the way of the underworld.
