Editor's note: This story includes minor details about "The Nowhere Man" Season 1, Episode 1.
In Starz’s new action thriller, “The Nowhere Man,” Lukas is trying to pick up all the pieces.
Not just as a junk collector at a homeless shelter in Johannesburg, South Africa, but in his life. The former Special Forces mercenary, played by Bonko Khoza, is struggling in the shadows with his mental health and the ghosts of his past.
When Lukas witnesses a woman in danger, he ponders whether to get involved, but ultimately jumps into action.

Actor Bonko Khoza as Lukas in "The Nowhere Man."
"I always think Lukas' biggest conflict is the idea of reconciling who you want to be with who you were," Khoza tells USA TODAY, adding, "It's quite a universal beat that Lukas is playing on in this series, and hopefully it resonates."
Khoza, known for his work in "The Wife" and "The Woman King," said the theme of reflection is one he can relate to in his career and personal journey.
"There was a time when I was a young actor... and did not have everything I have," he explained. "I reflect on the life that I live, I look at what I should fix, what I need to take on (and) what I need to let go in order to become the person I want to be."

1 / 40The biggest stars at BAFTA Tea Party, from Adam Sandler to Kate Hudson

Starz shows: Saying goodbye to 'Power Book II': How it went from spinoff to 'legendary' status
'Power' fan favorite Nautri Naughton-Lewis stars in 'The Nowhere Man'
In addition to Khoza, "The Nowhere Man" also stars Naturi Naughton-Lewis, who says, "I have not seen anything quite like this on television in the US right now."
Fans know the veteran actress as a fixture in the network’s “Power Universe” as Tasha St. Patrick, the fabulous wife of a New York City kingpin. However, in "The Nowhere Man," she plays a humble woman named Ruby who runs the shelter.
In the first episode, Ruby convinces Lukas to help a woman being hunted by her boyfriend, a notorious drug dealer, after testifying against him.
Naturi Naughton as Ruby in "The Nowhere Man."
"I’m excited for people to not only dive into the show, but also see a very different character. She's very stripped down," Naughton-Lewis said, noting that there are some commonalities between Ruby and Tasha.
"Ruby and Tasha are both very fearless," she explained. "They're not afraid to stand up for what they believe in and for who they want to fight for."
Naughton-Lewis serves as an executive producer on the project through her company, Take Two Entertainment, according to the network. The veteran actress spoke about stepping into this new chapter.
"It gave me an opportunity to show people I love great content and 'The Nowhere Man' was just really good content," she said. "It's about growth and evolution and showing people you don't have to be just one version of yourself. There's so much multiplicity in who I am, and I'm excited that Starz supports that."
'The Nowhere Man' was filmed in South Africa
Bonko Khoza leads in Starz's new crime thriller "The Nowhere Man."
“The Nowhere Man” was filmed in both Johannesburg and Cape Town. The story explores how the upper echelon and the lower class work together to overcome conflict, Khoza stated.
"I'm excited for the world to see the South African talent that we have, seeing Africa, and South Africa at large, on a global platform, doing amazing things,” said the actor.
“It's shot really well. It looks beautiful. The story is incredible. The cast is amazing. And I feel very proud as a South African to offer this to the world," he continued.
"The Nowhere Man" premieres on Starz on January 16.
