Haunted by her past, she investigates a string of brutal murders committed by a serial killer in the sugar cane fields of KwaZulu-Natal.
Having been abducted as a child by a farmer named Angus Speelman, Reyka is traumatised by the experience but this also helps her enter the minds of Africa's most notorious criminals and turn them inside out.
“I play the role of Reyka Gama, a criminal profiler whose history is both real, riveting as well as it is unthinkable.

“Everything you believed to be morally right could be on the other side,“ said Kim. about her role.
While Iain who plays Angus Speelman said: "I create, in my own twisted pathology, this perfect family for myself,“ he said.
