About:

The film follows Tomide Jobi (Timini Egbuson), a confident relationship influencer, whose life takes a complicated turn after a viral video links him to Rachel Monday (TJ Omosuku), a reserved entrepreneur.

Although they initially fake a relationship to please the internet and secure brand deals, real emotions begin to surface. With pressure from his girlfriend, Imani (Atlanta Bridget Johnson), and advice from Rachel’s supportive roommate, Chizaram (Bimbo Ademoye), Tomide finds himself torn.

His mother (Funke Akindele) offers guidance, while Rachel’s father (Muyiwa Ademola) and mentor (Dakore Egbuson-Akande) add meaningful layers to the story.

As their connection grows, Tomide must choose between protecting his online persona or embracing a love that could change everything.
