Instead, he is faced with danger, deception, wealth trappings, and social hierarchy dynamics while battling a huge secret that threatens his newfound status and his family’s safety.
The Inkblot-produced limited series features an eclectic mix of Nollywood’s formidable talents, including Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), Bimbo Akintola and Carol King, alongside rising stars Mike Afolarin, Genoveva Umeh and Natse Jemide.
Speaking about the series, Dami Elebe, series director and writer, said,
