Leila Domingo, a London trained doctor, returns home to Cape Flats for her father’s funeral. When she recognizes Farakahn as her childhood friend, it triggers a wave of conflicting emotions. She finds herself drawn into Farakahn’s world while he tries to set an example for his son, Ricardo, who is a chess prodigy lured in equal measure by the thrill of warfare on the chessboard and the seductive prestige of joining a powerful street gang.
