The key art
The inspo
A quote from series creator Christiaan Olwagen who wrote the script with Lorraine Burger and Igna Botha:
Christiaan: “As a child, my mother dragged us to the Swartvlei caravan park every December - to the sea.
A caravan park has its own ecology: small hierarchies, unwritten rules, allegiances and friction that builds up over days.
“It felt to me like the perfect locked-room space for a murder series: a remote place, a bunch of people who can’t avoid each other, and then a shock that derails everything.
"I wanted to delve into recognisable types and my emotional memory of that world; a kind of shared heritage.”
The scenario
Martie Pretorius (Jana Kruger) is a criminologist going on holiday for the first time in years.
Her son, Paul (Liam Bosman), is at university, and they see little of each other.
Martie is convinced this holiday at the Seerust campsite in the fictional Kalfiebaai with her sister, Elsabé (Erica Wessels), and her family can only do them good.
The holiday takes a dark turn, however, when a teenage boy’s body is found on the beach. Suddenly everyone is a suspect.
Brandi Jacobs (Melissa de Vries) of the local police thinks it is the Cape gangs sinking their claws into the small community, but Martie has another theory.
The wounds. The plastic bag. The Bible verse. She has seen it before. 15 years ago. A serial killer called Prediker.
Martie is drawn into the investigation against her will while trying to hide a devastating secret from her son, Paul.
