Seeking an escape from her failing marriage, Nandi Mahlati (Kgomotso Christopher) has a one-night stand with a younger man while on a weekend away with her best friend, Brenda.

What is Fatal Seduction about?

Nandi Mahlati (Kgomotso Christopher) is a woman whose marriage is on the brink of falling apart, with a recent miscarriage damaging the relationship between her and her husband, Leonard (Thapelo Mokoena).

Things get even worse when she discovers a suspicious text from his assistant, Ameera (Rizelle Januk), which seems to suggest the two of them are having an affair.

During a much-needed getaway with best friend Brenda (Lunathi Mampofu), Nandi takes her revenge by sleeping with a younger man, with whom she feels an instant connection.

Returning home alone, Nandi is wracked with guilt over her infidelity and devastated once again when Brenda is found dead – with those closest to her among the suspects.
