Synopsis

Fresh out of high school, Ndombi dares to chase a different path in Kambi slums. He forms a theatre group to escape the lure of the Baghdad Boys gang. A chance encounter with an injured Indian girl turns his life upside down, as it tests his loyalty to his family and friends. As tensions flare and betrayal creeps into his inner circle, Ndombi must decide what, and who, is worth fighting for. This is a gripping tale of affection, ambition, and resilience set against a backdrop of slum life, where Ndombi pays the cost of dreaming big in a world that demands one plays small.
