In the East Rand of Johannesburg, Vosloorus, Gabriel, born into a dysfunctional family, searches within himself for the strength to stand up against a powerful evil matriarch, Mother Mary, who will stop at nothing to serve her own needs.

Everyone wears masks and hides secrets. Mary Ndlovu, affectionately known in her community as the 'Mother of the Nation', has the most impenetrable mask of all: motherhood, piety, and charity. "Mother Mary" founded and runs the House of Grace, taking in unwanted, at-risk, and delinquent children and giving them a stable home and an education. Mary dresses impeccably, holds herself with pride, and attends church regularly. Nobody would ever connect her with the notorious, shadowy East Rand crime boss Voster--except her son Gabriel.—Happy_Evil_Dude
