The synopsis:

Based on Deon Meyer’s 2004 novel, which is the first in the Detective Benny Griessel books, Devil’s Peak is a multi-layered crime thriller set within one of the most beautiful yet divided cities on earth: Cape Town. 
 
It follows talented but broken Detective Benny Griessel, tasked with tracking down a righteous vigilante killer whose crimes are capturing the imagination of the city. 

Benny is played by Hilton Pelser, whose other credits include Moffie and Kissing Booth. 
 
Meanwhile Sisanda Henna plays grieving father Thobela Mpayipheli, desperately seeking justice after the untimely murder of his son.
 
Benny and Thobela are brought into the orbit of trapped mother, Christine (Tarryn Wyngaard), who is willing to do anything to achieve a better life for herself and her daughter.

The fates of these three characters become inextricably linked as the series builds to its explosive climax.

Combining gripping tension with uncompromising authenticity, Devil’s Peak offers an original South African take on the investigative thriller for today.
 
The series is directed by Jozua Malherbe, whose credits include Griekwastad, Justice Served and Lioness.
