SECONDS follows the story of Seconds Khumalo, an ageing boxer from the East Rand of Johannesburg. The Van Tonder family, whose property he lives on, and for whom he boxes — begin to grow suspicious as years of unanswered questions and traumas start to surface. Seconds has always trained under Pa Van Tonder, working for the family butchery in the mornings, but things start to go sour as Pa feels threatened by Seconds son, Lukas Khumalo, a budding politician. The final count down reveals a web of lies, deceit and betrayal — an illegitimate son, an underground exploitative boxing syndicate and a dark angel called Bambi. It is time for Seconds to claim back what is rightfully his; HIS FAMILY AND HIS LIFE.
