SYNOPSIS:
The movie is about a young medical student (Gomez) who went to the UK to study with her sister, Maggie (Chioma Akpotha). She never, in her wildest imagination, believed she could ever fall in love with a white man until she was introduced to Dermot (Jolliffe), a dashing young guy, by her sister's boyfriend, Kachi (John Dumelo). However, the heart is not so smart. They met and began a sizzling romantic relationship, until events of the past came calling. This story is about the power of love over racial prejudice and the hangover of the past.
