Mary hides in plain sight, pretending to be a philanthropic socialite who takes in unwanted delinquent children and cares for them in House of Grace, a center for "at risk" youth in Vosloorus on the East Rand of Johannesburg But behind the façade lurks a cold-hearted criminal; a woman who is not above fraud, murder, or trafficking children in an illegal adoption ring. She is untouchable. Or so she thinks. Mary Ndlovu is running away from her traumatic past. A past that she believes is safely buried. She is a narcissist to the core and a staunch believer in Christ. Yet she launders her illegal money through the church, among many other illicit dealings. Mary has one biological child, a daughter - the musically talented and idolized Esther (Didintle Khunou) - and two adopted children: Simon (TK Sebothoma), who is devoted, talented and troubled; and her favorite son and right-hand general, Gabriel (Bohang Moeko), who is resourceful, damaged and brooding.
