After her husband dies — and without leaving a will — a Lagos matriarch (Mai Sisi) is suddenly under pressure. Tradition demands that one of her four daughters must be married off within 45 days, or the family risks losing their inheritance and legacy. Faced with scheming in-laws, financial uncertainty, societal expectations, and her own fierce determination, Mai Sisi must navigate betrayal, rivalry, loyalty, and the messy realities of family life to protect what’s hers.
