Learn more- It's not so much that he needs to try his hand at fathering his own parents because even though he acts more mature than most guys his age, truth be told, young Lu still needs guidance of his own. But Luyanda Nkosi's maturity level has him believing that he holds the answers to his parents' constant bickering. See, his dream is to unite his parents once again, so that things can be as they once were... Although, those few good memories of hope that Lu still holds on to, never did outweigh the match made in hell which was his parents' matrimonial union. Mandla and Portia Nkosi have been divorced for all but two years now, and even though they've managed to bizarrely stay in the same house, after reaching a mutual agreement that will benefit the kids, there is still no love lost between them.
Told through the eyes of our young hero, Luyanda Nkosi, we get to delve into seeing how the awesome life of a seemingly normal teenager, is not so awesome when it's surrounded by extraordinary circumstances. Having divorced parents, who are constantly at each other's throats, trying to fight for the affection of their offspring; a self-conscious sister who lives in a dream world; a near-senile grandmother; and a best friend who always manages to land Luyanda in mischief - these are the recipes for a disastrous life that Luyanda is trying to deal with. And seeing that everyone else's opinions seem to matter most to Luyanda, he has cornered himself into trying to uphold certain appearances; appearances that involve the rest of the world believing in his perfect world. Because ultimately, all Luyanda is looking for is just the perfect life - with "the perfect family."
However, The Perfect Life is just that little bit more difficult to attain when one has all this drama to deal with, on top of being a role model to other kids because of your fame stature. The geeky know-it-all-A-student has been an introvert for the major part of his life but ever since his acting skills landed him a role on the popular local soap opera, The Highs and Lows, his star has soon enough catapulted him to the most famous guy in his school. But the closest that Luyanda's fame gets acknowledged in his home-life, is at embarrassing moments when his dad make's him act out scenes from the Soapie, to impress his friends.
One would think that this would be the dream life for any kid but as Luyanda is finding out, stardom doesn't make growing pains any easier...
