Faithless, the new drama on Maisha Magic Plus, pulls viewers into a world where faith collides with crime in the most unexpected way. The show follows a group of devout church-going women whose lives unravel as they become entangled in a high-stakes money laundering scheme that threatens not just their morals but their very freedom.
In the pilot episode, we are introduced to these women, each with her own struggles and ambitions. Their shared bond is the church, a place where they worship, seek comfort, and present themselves as virtuous role models. However, the show quickly reveals that even the most devout individuals can be lured into temptation. As they each face personal financial crises, a tantalising opportunity presents itself—one that promises wealth but comes with dire consequences.
The tension in Faithless is woven through its complex characters. There’s Margaret, the choir leader whose spotless reputation is put to the test. As a widow struggling to raise her children, she finds herself justifying her participation in the scheme to provide for her family. Then there's Sylvia, a fiery businesswoman whose love for luxury leads her to risk everything for a piece of the action. Her loyalty to the church is undeniable, but her loyalty to wealth proves stronger.
The real drama comes from the internal conflict each woman faces. They find themselves balancing their faith with greed and their guilt with ambition. Every Sunday, they put on their Sunday best and their best smiles and attend church as if nothing is wrong. But the cracks are starting to show. In the upcoming episode, set to air this weekend, viewers will see the first major consequences of their actions. What starts as a simple money laundering operation will quickly spiral out of control, and these women will have to decide how far they are willing to go to protect their newfound riches.
