Having come from very different backgrounds but with a shared passion for maskandi music, Zulu and Mhlaba turn into bitter rivals when they inherit a feud held by their respective fathers.
They learn a secret long hidden from them when an unspeakable tragedy occurs.
What impact will this have on the world around them, their loved ones and each other?
