Season 1
Levels is a South African crime drama television series which unfolds after heisters rob a private plane of millions of rands and senior agent Bongi Nkosi is brought in to investigate the crime.
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you suddenly had a billion rands?
Would you disappear to an island paradise, settle every debt, or live like royalty?
Levels taps into that irresistible fantasy and the dire consequences that follow.
When R1-billion in foreign currency vanishes in a bold heist at a private airport, Crime Intelligence calls in top detective Bongi Nkosi (Lunathi Mpofu) to head up the investigation.

As Det. Vilakazi starts connecting the dots, Bongi's professional and personal life begin to unravel.
