Meet Relebogile Naledi Mpho Moruakgomo. Or, for short, Eddie: an aspiring playwright who dreams of making it big in London's theatre world. But after repeated rejections from white talent agents, Eddie suspects her non-white sounding name might be the problem. Enter Hugo Lawrence Smith: good looking, well-connected, charismatic and - white. Very white. Stifled by his law degree and looking for a way out of the corporate world, he finds a kindred spirit in Eddie after a chance encounter at a cafe. Together they hatch an extraordinary scheme, one which will see Eddie's play on stage and Hugo's name in lights. Her script sent out under his name. Their plan: keep the play's origins a secret until it reaches critical levels of success. Then expose the theatre world for its racism and hollow clout-chasing.
