Trust-fund baby Mmule Kutlwano loves poetry, writing and photography. With her dreadlocks and penchant for second-hand clothing, she doesn't want a mainstream job – but her "alternative" lifestyle does not impress her family. She lives with her older sister who is a sophisticated lawyer with a wealthy boyfriend, just the type her mother approves of. Secretly, Mmule has to admit that her high ideals aren't making her happy – for once she'd like to be the ideal daughter too. Then she meets mys­terious Kabelo Lefika, coffee-shop owner and part-time musician. The chemistry between the two artists is undeniable. Should Mmule follow her heart once more and take her dying father's advice to not let anyone dictate how she should live?
