Caesar Mokwena, founder of South Africa's first black-owned bank, is a viper in the boardroom, but his serial womanising, dodgy business deals and his closeted addiction to alcohol make him unstable and as unpredictable as a viper ready to strike.
His wife Cleopatra may tolerate the pleasure he covets, but she is no walkover and will defend her family to her death.
Unfortunately, death is a secret that plagues the Mokoenas' past, as a suspicious accident comes back to jeopardise the opulent lives they've worked so hard to maintain.
The series stars Mangaliso Ngema as Caesar Mokoena, Sonia Mbele as Cleopatra Mokoena, Sophie Ndaba as Shanice Moore, Vusi Kunene as Hannibal Razor, Menzi Ngubane as Napoleon Biko and Katlego Danke as Coco Rivers.
