"Girl, I don't know what to do. He wants me in London but.. I mean, look at who he is. I don't want him to use me to catch cruise. It's one thing for me to deal with him when he's HERE but for me to fly out and be doing all this lovey dovey? Yé."

Idara is 27, Nigerian and not looking to get married. She'd love to but the more she gets to know men, the more she questions why the women in her culture stick around when all their men do is lie and cheat. She vows that if she ever gets married, he'd have to be wealthy because love alone can't convince her anymore. "Glowed up", as the kids would say, Idara is looking for nothing short of a good time. Soft life her please.  Solo travels and champagne lifestyle... but when one concert changes the course of her life forever, is Idara willing to open herself to what scares her the most or is she meant to forever live as the solo rich auntie? 

Asia, Idara's best friend and former romantic. She's done with men & sees them as nothing more than tricks. Even though she's not African, she loves the men. They may not always be the best but they spend and that's all she cares about. Truth is, she's still in love with her Senegalese ex Mohammed, an up & coming alte-AfroBeats artist. She knows he's no good for her but her heart yearns for him. Asia doesn't know who to talk to because everyone around her hates him. Can Asia break free from the toxic hold he has over her and let a man who truly wants to love her show her that there's more to life or will men be forever disposable to her as she waits on Mo? 

Devante, Idara's best friend and Asia's cousin. Tall and handsome but he wouldn't believe it even if you yelled it in his face. See, things are different for him because although he tries to live life as his most authentic self, he isn't 100% living in his truth. He wants love just like anyone else but that's hard to do when it's not accepted. 

Follow Idara, Asia & Devante as they navigate what it means to live, love and be loved
