If you're going to steal... steal big, and hope like hell you get away with it!

Lucky Kunene knows exactly what he wants in life: a 7 series BMW, a house with a sea view and an intelligent, beautiful wife. But Lucky was refused a university scholarship. In a bid to avoid their fates, he and his best friend Zakes begin stealing cars, an endeavour which takes them to the dizzying heights of wealth. But when things begin to get too hot for comfort in Soweto, the pair decide to come clean, moving to the big city in search of wealth and happiness. Five years later, a deadbeat taxi business and a filthy apartment shared with 20 other people is all they have to show for their efforts. But by investing their rent in the newly formed Hillbrow People's Housing Trust, Lucky embarks on a new career, a career which will take him to the top of South Africa's criminal world?
