Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games star Natalie Dormer is the lead cast of White Lies, a South African crime thriller. A twisty, riveting, utterly compelling murder mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.
Starring Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games, Picnic at Hanging Rock) as Edie Hansen, and Brendon Daniels (Four Corners, Skemerdans, Trackers) as Detective Forty Bell, White Lies is at once a gripping whodunnit murder mystery, a uniquely intriguing family drama and a thrilling and unpredictable drama of a community coming face to face with its own secrets and lies.
Investigative journalist Edie Hansen is stunned by the murder of her estranged brother, Andrew McKenzie, in his Bishopscourt mansion. She is pulled into the nightmarish aftermath when she’s reunited with her teenage niece and nephew in the most awkward of circumstances, and sets out to find the killer, working with – and when necessary, against – the local police.
As she hunts the killer across the complicated, beautiful city of Cape Town, crossing from the leafy suburbs to the city centre, from the slopes of the mountain to the ganglands and back again, she uncovers a charismatic evil that knows no boundaries. She finds herself at loggerheads with Detective Forty Bell (Brendon Daniels), a damaged twenty-year veteran of the force with a legitimate grudge against her, a man fighting his own demons, and losing his own battles within an incompetent and crumbling police force.
The eight-part series premieres on M-Net (DStv Channel 101) on 7 March at 8pm.
