The film kicks off when sworn enemies, Boetie (Schuster) and Beast, played by Kenneth Nkosi (Jerusalema, Tsotsi, White Wedding), are forced to embark on a road trip as unwitting subjects of a new TV reality show, devised by TV Producer, Kelsey, played by Tanit Phoenix (Spud, Straight Outta Benoni).

The film, also starring long-time Schuster collaborator, Alfred Ntombela is directed by Gray Hofmeyr and produced by Helena Spring. Released nationwide on 22 June 2012, distribution rights for the film have been acquired by The Walt Disney Company South Africa, although the film will not be distributed under the Disney banner.
