Synopsis

In the retro-futuristic African nation of Alkebulan, Dr. Constance Moumie, a brilliant but overlooked scholar, faces a crisis when she discovers her fiancé, Sèyí Àjàyí, is engaged to Princess Ada. Her meticulously laid plans are thrown into disarray and she must quickly pick up the pieces. With the help of her best friend Bibiana, Constance hatches a bold scheme to expose Sèyí at his engagement ceremony, a move that unexpectedly brings her the long-overdue recognition she deserves.
