Meet Ayoku.
She's just your average Nigerian teen. Struggling through high school. Living a life that she feels is as unimpressive as they come. Then there's the sad fact that she's super stuck in the friend zone with the one boy she's in love with while he seems to notice every other girl but her.
Well a teenage girl's life can't get any more average than that really.
Until she meets Mr Royce.
The new art teacher- he eats like a British monarch, insists on calling her "Ama" and his way of thinking could be the most vulgar phenomenon since Fela. All he seems to do that stuns everyone around him, especially Ayoku, is simply exist.
Yet on the verge of turning 16, what's a girl to do when she's caught in a love triangle with two instant archenemies- both artists and both players in every sense there is of the word?
