POU is a South African gothic horror following the journey of a young woman into the dark recesses of the Afrikaner psyche and its compromised past.

Bennie, a baker, is finding life hard after his wife's passing. At one moment, he mistakenly poisons Brandi, his dog, with alcohol after a night of drinking. After rushing her to the vet, it was suggested that he hires a dog sitter for assistance. Lesinda is a dog sitter by day and a sex worker by night. She bonds well with Bennie and Brandi and ends up being in bed with Bennie who then flares up after Lesinda discloses her other occupation. He desperately tries to get back in contact with her, but she ignores his calls. He manages to set up a meeting with her, under false pretenses, but she rejects him again. He sticks around and saves her from a business meeting gone wrong and eventually ends up being in business with her.
