On House of Zwide, Faith is a matriarchal head of a wealthy family in the fashion industry who has three kids. She also had deep and dark secrets that dated back to 20 years ago when she killed her husband’s first wife and covered it up. The secrets come back to bite her when her stepson starts remembering things in his dreams and reveals that Isaac was an accomplice who kidnapped his sister. This leads to Faith’s arrest, and her family’s fight for justice even extends to the unknown world where she sees dead people.
