In this witty father-son story, we are introduced to Varun, a former scammer, and River, a trans drag performer, as they venture on a road trip across South Africa to rescue River's long-lost mother from a rehab clinic in eSwatini.

With secrets bubbling to the surface and a competition to win, their relationship will be tested like never before.
