Cash Tshabalala is a notoriously brutal money-lender and snazzy
dresser who operates in Scottsville, Soweto, from a kiosk he calls,
‘The Last Best Hope Financial Service’. Unashamedly violent when
the need arises, Cash’s willingness to lend where reputable banks
fear to tread has earned him a reluctant but steady clientele. A
chance meeting between Cash and Alasdair Nicholson, a closet drug
user and only son of a fabulously wealthy white family, changes
both their lives forever. Desperate for a fix, Alasdair drives to
Scottsville to buy drugs, only to discover he doesn’t have enough
money on him and he has to borrow what he needs from Cash. When
Alasdair fails to keep his side of the transaction, Cash declares
war on the Nicholson family and events spin dangerously out of
control, eventually becoming a matter of national importance when
populist activists step in, intent on realising their own agendas.
The conflict between Cash and the Nicholson family cleverly exposes
the seeping wounds that still bedevil South African interactions
two decades after the end of apartheid, forcing both communities to
recognise the harsh realities of their past.
