What to expect from Marked season 1?
The drama series revolves around Babalwa, a hard-working and god-fearing cash-in-transit security guard living in Johannesburg. She is pushed to the edge after her daughter, Palesa, is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, requiring a costly surgery amounting to R1.2 million (rand).
Despite Babalwa and her husband Lungile's best attempts to raise the money, they fail to secure a loan or get financial support of any kind. Desperate, she becomes an accomplice in a heist plan against her bank with her colleague, Tebza, and the local hustler, Zweli. However, the plan goes awry due to a series of betrayals, leaving Babalwa and her accomplices caught in the line of fire and fighting to survive.
Babalwa must choose how far she is willing to go to protect her family, while risking everything she ever stood for.
