Vusi Madlazi returns to the South African village he left as a young boy to bury his father. He meets up with his brother Ernest, who tells him their other brother Stephen couldn't be contacted.

Vusi proceeds to learn how conditions have changed since the end of apartheid, not always for the better for black men.
