The Passage tells the story of Bafana, a bright and ambitious 17-year-old, whose dreams of becoming a lawyer are overshadowed by his toxic loyalty to his best friend, Mrembula. When Mrembula, a street-smart manipulator with a dark agenda, rapes Bafana’s girlfriend, Dakalo, the plot takes a chilling turn. Mrembula blackmails Bafana into fabricating an alibi, forcing him to choose between his conscience and the oppressive code of brotherhood.
