A young man running with a criminal gang on the streets of Johannesburg finds a chance for redemption. Tsotsi--a nickname meaning "thug"--is immersed in a world of violence that seems to leave him unaffected until he discovers an infant in the back seat of a car he has stolen.

Over the course of twenty-seven hours, two young Palestinian men prepare themselves for a suicide bombing mission. For Said and Khaled, everyday life comes to an abrupt end when they are contacted by the guerrilla group to which they both belong and begin the process of taking their leave of family and friends.
