What is ‘Savage Beauty' all about?

Scars aren't the only thing that hides a nasty secret. A mysterious lady seeks retribution for her terrible past by befriending a wealthy family that owns a worldwide beauty company — and also holds on to some lethal secrets. Mogashoa's most recent production depicts the life of a family whose fame and fortune are jeopardized when a bitter 'blast from the past' seeks revenge. Who exactly is this enigmatic figure? What wrongs were done to her, and what will satisfy her vendetta? The two-minute trailer for Netflix's latest South African thriller series is a high-octane adrenaline trip. 'Savage Beauty,' which tackles a story of deception, betrayal, and vengeance, is a sobering lesson that "some secrets run deeper than scars."

The new African thriller series is based on the tale of Don and Grace Bhengu, who tested a dangerous substance on a group of street children roughly fifteen years ago. Only one of the two survivors of the experiment, Zinhe Manzini, is planning to return to exact revenge on the Bhengu family, their Beauty castle, and to uncover their terrible secrets. As she pursues her vengeance, many innocent lives are put in jeopardy, as justice appears to be a long way off.
