After an unexpected tragedy, Boma, a gifted young fashion designer and hopeless romantic, leaves behind her humble sewing room to join her estranged high-society aunt’s top fashion house. Driven to achieve her dreams and establish her voice in this overwhelmingly competitive industry, Boma catches the attention of Lagos’ leading philanthropic fashionista — and the eye of her kind, pediatrician son — despite her social class standing. This seductive drama is a modern fairytale romance nestled in the bustling, vibrant metropolis of Lagos, showcasing in equal measure the world of haute-couture fashion and the universal desire to find acceptance and love.
