Her friends think he's just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends. Boo has just what Ronke wants - a kind husband, a gorgeous child. But she's frustrated, unfulfilled, and desperate to remember who she used to be. Simi is the golden one with the perfect lifestyle and a career. No one knows she's crippled by impostor syndrome and tempted to pack it all in each time her boss mentions her 'urban vibe.' Her husband thinks they're trying for a baby. She's not. When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, she seems to bring out the best in each woman.
