Buckle up for the five most shocking moments on Faithless so far:

1. Dirty money: the perfect heist ... or so they thought

The story kicks off with an audacious heist on an ambulance carrying a seemingly lucrative fortune. Unbeknown to Benja and his accomplices, the cash belongs to none other than the notorious mob boss, Cain. Little do they realise that their every move has been captured on camera.

2. Esther's startling discovery

On the day of Benja’s memorial service, fate takes a dark turn when Esther stumbles upon the stolen loot hidden in Benja’s room. A shocking revelation awaits her as she starts to unravel the web of crime her brother was entangled in. 

3. Pastor Musa’s secret

Pastor Musa, a man of faith and trust, harbours a dirty little secret. Many years ago, he had an affair with Rachel, who had a son, Manu. But that’s not all … Manu, who is now in his 20s, works for none other than Cain! To make matters even worse, it’s Manu that Cain has tasked with tracking down the stolen money.

4. Esther’s friends get caught in the web

The tension escalates as Hope inadvertently stumbles upon the hidden bag of cash in Esther's wardrobe. Realising the danger it poses, she and Deborah make a fateful decision to move the money to the church for safekeeping. However, Manu is hot on their trail and will get the money back at any cost.

5. A fatal mistake: a body to bury and a secret to keep

In a harrowing confrontation at the church, Esther and her friends are held at gunpoint by Manu. Fear and desperation cloud their judgment and they overpower him, resulting in a tragic accident. Instead of seeking justice, they decide to bury the truth, hiding Manu's lifeless body and becoming ensnared in a web of lies and guilt.

Amidst the chaos, Detective Inspector Dan Chamu takes the reins of a relentless investigation to bring down Cain. With an anonymous tip-off leading to a drug-bust, the stakes soar as Dan gets closer to the elusive mob boss.
