In essence the plot is simple. A middle-aged white couple, Christopher and Lynette, enlist wealthy black neighbours Sihle and Bonolo, who they’ve hitherto largely ignored, to improve the “optics” of their bid to remove the unauthorised dwelling, whose unseen inhabitants are presumed to be black and poor. A younger white couple, Andrew and Jess, who paid too much for a house that now overlooks the shack, feel oppressed and shut out by the older foursome.
