Milly, ’n bloemis, veg teen die skade wat die biodiversiteit van Agulhasvlakte, haar geboortegrond, bedreig. Haar suster Amy, ’n sosialemedia-ster vol wêreldwysheid van ’n tipiese stadsbewoner, daag by haar op. Amy is nie wel nie – in haar strewe na sukses het sy haarself verloor en is gediagnoseer met ’n geestesongesteldheid. ’n Aangrypende verhaal oor twee susters wat ’n stryd voer met kwessies wat hedendaagse jong mense in die gesig staar, naamlik om hul identiteit binne hul omgewing, familie en die moderne wêreld te vind.

Quarter past eight in the evening. It’s time. Pieter and Francois are planning a bank robbery. As they are not politicians, they don’t exactly know where to start. Pieter confabulates with an old crook to help – not a local councillor, but Billy from Cash Invaders. Will their plans succeed? What drives law-abiding men to become amateur bank robbers? Answers to these questions emerge during a farcical journey through the lives of Pieter and Francois – once diligent pillars of society; now mere criminals.
