Babalwa is op pad om vir Luxolo te konfronteer oor die wit meisie met wie hy haar verneuk. Wanneer Chelsea Luxolo se deur oopmaak, dink sy Babalwa is die huishulp. Eers speel Babalwa saam sodat sy agter die kap van die byl kan kom, maar wanneer Luxolo bewusteloos uit ’n kas tuimel, en daar ’n verwoestende storm buite losbars, bevind die drie hulle in die huis vasgekeer – ook deur die besluite wat hulle daar laat beland het. Die vroue het geen ander keuse as om met mekaar, en die man tussen hulle, af te reken nie. Ten minste vir die nag.

Babalwa is on a mission to confront Luxolo about the white girl he is cheating on her with. When Chelsea opens Luxolo’s door, she mistakes Babalwa for the maid. First Babalwa plays along to find out more about this other woman, but when an unconscious Luxolo falls out of a cupboard, and a vicious storm breaks out outside, the three are trapped inside the house with the choices that led them here. The women are forced to deal with each other and the man between them. At least for the night.
