Meet Relebogile Naledi Mpho Moruakgomo. Or, for short, Eddie: an aspiring playwright. After repeated rejections, Eddie suspects her non-white-sounding name might be the problem. Enter Hugo Lawrence Smith. Looking for a way out of the corporate world, he finds a kindred spirit in Eddie. Together they devise a plan that will see Eddie's play on stage and Hugo's name in lights. They send out her script under his name and vow to keep the play's origins a secret until it reaches critical levels of success. But as their plan spins wildly out of control, Eddie and Hugo find themselves wondering if their reputations, and their friendship, can survive.
