As per Netflix, this installment follows Zanele (Sibusisiwe Jili) and Andile (Kay Sibiya), the ultimate BFFs — from being each other’s go-to plus-one to providing a comforting shoulder to lean on. Andile, however, is in a healthy marriage with Jessica (Trix Vivier), while Zanele’s love life is a depressing rollercoaster of swipes, ghosting and questionable choices.
“Jessica reluctantly welcomes her husband’s best friend into their lives, but she can’t ignore the uneasy feeling sparked by their undeniable closeness. As friends and family repeatedly joke about their bond, doubts creep in, leaving her questioning whether there’s more to their relationship than meets the eye,” according to Netflix.
“An encounter between Zanele and Andile shatters their friendship, leaving them grappling with the weight of their secret. Zanele finds herself swept off her feet by a new, seemingly perfect love interest, leaving Andile to step aside, no longer the ‘knight in shining armour’ in her story,” according to Netflix.
