At the end of volume one, we learn that Jacob (Prince Grootbroom) is not who he says he is, and he is in actually the son of a man who was falsely accused by Nandi’s (Kgomosto Christopher) best friend, Brenda (Lunathi Mampofu), of a crime ten years earlier. Nandi’s husband, Leonard (Thapelo Mokoena), persuaded Brenda to give false evidence so he could be promoted and Jacob’s father took his own life in prison as a result, causing Jacob to seek revenge.

Meanwhile, Leonard thinks that Nandi is actually having an affair with Vuyo and threatens to kill him, but, Vuyo confronts him about the false accusation and they fight, with Leonard admitting what he did ten years ago.
