You can never run from yourself. <em>uMalusi</em> is an introspective riches-to-rags drama about a spoiled brat, Malusi, who has to learn life's lessons the hard way. Having spent most of his life living in the sleepy coastal city of East London, life up to this point has been a breeze for the flamboyant young man. Malusi is as selfish as they come; he is the center of his perverse universe and no one else matters. The tide turns for the anti-hero when, after a night of decadence, he sleeps with Pearl, his best friend's 18-year-old sister.The night ends in tragedy when Pearl dies - seemingly from a drug overdose. The extremely malevolent and coked-up Malusi leaves her on the side of the road and runs.
Leaving the comfort of his cocooned life, he heads for the only place he can hide - Mdanstane township. A completely alien environment for this private school graduate, Malusi is about to learn some vital lessons about life.
