The film tells the story of the protagonist Boniface Mwangi nicknamed "Softie," Kenyan slang for "wimp," in his childhood years but who has ironically turned out as one of the most daring and audacious activists in Kenya at the forefront of fighting injustices in the country. His activism and the constant danger the path he has chosen poses to his life and that of his family create tremendous turmoil between him and his wife Njeri Mwangi, who is protective of her family.
The film chronicles the activist's seven-year journey beginning with chaos-filled street protests and culminating in Boniface's decision to run for a political seat in his childhood neighborhood, Starehe constituency, where he is confronted by the reality of challenging strong political dynasties.
