Season 1:
Residents of a middle-class cul-de-sac debate building a wall to protect themselves from danger. Little do they know a whistleblower in witness protection has just moved in.
Robert and the shooter's true identity is still unknown to most Aarbei Street residents. They vote for Vinkie's wall, while the wealthy partners begin to turn against one of their own.
Basie and Trix start flirting with each other and Robert realizes that he is being eavesdropped through his computer. Zelda receives some bad news and Pote's team realizes there is more to it than gunnery.
Robert's enemies find out where his fiancée is hiding and in a quest to save her, Zelda and Lorre end up in a shootout. Robert declares war on Anton Videns.
Billy tries to blackmail Zelda and Jakkie receives a package from her dark past. There is a second shooter in place and someone close to Robert is shot.
There is discord between the business partners and Lorre has to nurse a wounded Tassia. Maxwell goes too far in a fight with Reta and the one shooter's identity is revealed.
The Videns partners fight because Robert still hasn't been taken out, and tensions in the Vorster house run high. A body is discovered in the basement of the street's abandoned house.
The curious people are driven away from the wall and the tension between the Videns partners worsens. Tassia can no longer bear the cohabitation and two unexpected guests show up at Billy's.
Billy has to postpone his murder plans because Surien wants to save their marriage, and Pote realizes there is more than one shooter. Hendrikkie ends up in a mess with Anton and Jakkie has to come to his rescue.
We find out who the second shooter is and Billy promises to get revenge on Anton's behalf. Thabo and Helen start to turn against each other and Jakkie and Hendrikkie plan to take Billy out.
Jakkie is ordered to kill Anton and in the meantime other street dwellers get a sniff of her true identity. Reta and Maxwell are caught by Trix and Basie.
Surien and her son are used as bait to lure Billy out. Robert and Tassia follow Anton's bank movements on the computer and realize that someone is trying to get into the partnership's main account.
Anton agrees to Robert's offer and Helen and Thabo are not happy. The other residents of Aarbeistraat take matters into their own hands and all the drama climaxes in the Vorsters' front garden.
