Episode 1 – The Fig Tree's Secret
When Warrant Officer Gideon du Toit is called to a remote Karoo farm, he finds a brutal crime scene — a dead farmer, a traumatized wife, and a kettle still warm. Beneath the quiet veld lies something darker: a rifle buried in a septic tank and a fig tree that seems to keep its own secrets. Nothing about Wolwefontein feels random, and Du Toit knows the silence is lying to him.
