An illegitimate son inherits his father’s dream and a family he may never belong to…
Jacob's Cross is a South African drama series about powerful oil magnates battling for Africa's rich off-shore oil resources. Set in both South Africa and Namibia, the story centers around businessman Jacob Makhubu and his quest to build the next great South African empire. The people in Jacob's world are all driven by a shared history of colonization and desire to tap into the wealth of Africa while being divided by feuds over who the rightful owners of the resources are, how they should be exploited and who should benefit. The story begins when Jacob, who's living a prosperous and happy life in South Africa, gets offered a deal, with immeasurable backing from a large Nigerian firm. Determined to realize his dream of accessing a new energy source, the deal offers him the perfect opportunity of making it happen. He's adamantly warned by his mother to stay away from the Nigerian dynasty and its business but refuses to take her advice and soon finds himself in a negotiation that will change his life forever. He starts receiving strange phone calls from unknown sources, which result in even stranger questions from the police. Despite all this, nothing can prepare him for what he discovers when he eventually agrees to go to Lagos, Nigeria to visit his mentor, Chief Abayomi. The revelation he discovers sends him on an epic quest in which he learns that in order to fulfill his dreams he must be prepared to lose everything first. (Source: mnetafrica.com)
