An outrageous bet between two wealthy fat-cats set the wheels in motion for an outcome that changes the lives of everyone involved.
Brian Zwane (Aubrey Poo) has worked hard and finally has it all - the job, the car, the house, the gorgeous fiancé - but then his bosses decide to turn the tables and see what could (and does) happen when they take it all away from him and hand it to the savvy Tendai Lufuno Phiri (Kabelo ‘K.B.' Ngakane), a Zimbabwean street hustler.
A series of hilarious events unfold that land Brian in the ghetto and Tendai in the boardroom. Does Brian turn to crime as his bosses expect? Will Tendai manage to score the R200 million deal for the company? Will they find each other and discover they've been ‘swopped' before it's too late?
