When Nwakaeogo meets Onuwa, a wealthy, good-looking young man, she is swept off her feet and her life changes for the better. Their love blossoms and they decide to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife. However, the fairytale comes to an end sooner than she imagined and she is made to deal with a reality that she never thought was possible.
