Music producer Thapelo comes out of jail to find he's not welcome home. Consolation, a Zimbabwean maid receives news from home that heightens her financial pressure. Emily, mourns the death of her late friend and school principal, Ma Noxy. Phenyo, the taxi driver, loses his hard-saved lobola money in a pyramid scheme. All these people's lives collide when they find the answer to their problems - a bag full of money on an abandoned road late at night.

Twala begins to follow a trial that spooks the big four. Faced with the choice of returning the money or keeping it, all four accomplices choose to keep it. They have a good reason after all. Consolation's mother is in dire need of an operation. Phenyo is hell-bent on marrying Zizi while Thapelo just wants to pay back the money he stole from his father. Emily doesn't need it but keeps it anyway. They are bound.

Zizi gives Phenyo one last chance to pay the lobola but he fails to show up again after Moloi takes all his money and she dumps him. He shares his heartbreak with Thapelo who's up and down preparing for his launch. Whilst the SGB discovers the money to build the school has gone missing from the account and Emily suspects it's the money they took from that dead guy's car in a ditch.

The pressure on Consolation rises. Twala is investigating them and frightens Consolation into paying him a bribe. She is desperate to get the money to finish school and get her papers. Thapelo and her grow closer but have arguments over the money. The big four are shocked to find out that Ma Noxy withdrew the money on the day of her death.

Emily forgets Naledi's birthday, goes on a drinking binge and embarrasses herself in front of the SGB, Nalei and her customers. Bontle's efforts to patch things up between Letlaka and Thapelo blow up in her face. Meanwhile, Thapelo unexpectedly comes clean about his feelings for Consolation whilst Phenyo convinces Zizi's uncles to forgive him by doubling the lobolo offer.

Thapelo finds himself homeless. He tries to look for alternative accommodation but everyone turns him away. Emily is too engrossed in her own grief to give him space or to notice that Dimpho is in trouble. Consolation turns him away and drinks deeper into a shell of self loathing and shame. While Phenyo is too preoccupied to take him back because he wants to win Zizi over. In a twist of fate, Thapelo moves into Twala's house, just as Mabitsela announces Robs looming arrival.

With no place to hide his money, Thapelo decides to hide it at the church, but is torn when he loses it. A desperate Twala is forced to borrow money from Letlaka as Rob increases the pressure. The BIG FOUR starts to turn on and blame each other for taking and spending the money. And after so much resistance, Thapelo and Consolation finally share a kiss.
