A young, aspiring actor from upcountry Kenya dreams of becoming a success in
the big city. In pursuit of this and to the chagrin of his brother and parents, he
makes his way to Nairobi: the city of opportunity.
He quickly understands why Nairobi is nicknamed Nairobbery as he is robbed of
all his money and belongings and left alone in a city where he doesn’t know a
soul. Luck, or the lack of it, brings him face to face with two groups of downtown
crooks and he forms a friendship with a young small time gang leader who takes
him in.
Drawn into a new world of theft and violence, he still tries to pursue his dream of
becoming an actor. Keeping the two worlds separate proves to be a contest for
him as he struggles to survive in this unknown world called Nairobi.
