On the Other Side of Life plot

The brothers Lucky and Bongani live in a township in Cape Town. They don't get much attention from their mother, but luckily they have their grandmother who takes care of them. They learn everything they need to know at a young age. How to get drugs, money and girls. The brothers share everything: their bed, the food and now even an accusation of murder. The first thing they find out in prison is that newcomers are at the bottom of the ladder. Now they must quickly learn how to survive in prison.
