Set in the year 1945 till the 1960's Nigeria, six brothers connected by everything but blood live on the edge to survive by any means and make something of themselves.
In the midst of all the unrest in the newborn country they grow up into having to live double lives as secret criminals and law abiding, handsome, eligible bachelors. All seems to be going well until Dipo, the youngest of them, takes a drastic step that shakes the core of their entire gang. His brothers believe that his driving force is a spoiled, Britain based beauty, the daughter of their greatest enemy who they consider a gatecrasher in their lives. And perhaps they were right. But will the love of these two, young dreamers lead to an eternity of a sweet dream or a prophesied... death?

The other woman's DAUGHTER
Maryam never had a say. Although her situation wasn't her fault, people never fail to rub it in her face. If she was a child out of wedlock, she wouldn't have been sad. Atleast she'd be paying for her parent's sin. If she was an Almajira, she'd still lift her head up high and accept what ever the world threw at her, atleast she would still be paying for her parent's sin for throwing her out into the streets. If she was a prostitute, Heck! she'd stand proud and tall, atleast it was her decision to sell her body to men. But, she was neither one of this things. She had lost her father, a day before she was born. Her mother got married to someone else a week later! That marriage came with a whole lot of burden. A burden she was subjected to by her gullible mother. A burden she had no choice but to embrace.Concluida
