Kate Henshaw was a retired nurse in Enugu, lives a quiet, grief-worn life after the tragic murder of her husband Obi during a robbery five years ago. She's endured years of pain, rebuilding what she can with dignity, her only light being her ambitious daughter Amaka (Genoveva Umeh) a city-based makeup artist barely scraping by in Lagos.

Then, without warning, Amaka returns home with exciting news: she’s engaged. Her fiancé, Derek (Stan Nze), is soft-spoken, well-dressed, and mysteriously wealthy. He claims to be an importer with "a few silent partners overseas." He has no family, no background ties, and avoids too many questions but he showers Amaka with affection and expensive gifts.

Ifeoma senses something is off. Then the strange occurrences begin.

She starts hearing whispers in the hallway. The sound of her late husband’s favorite hymn playing from a radio that isn’t plugged in. One night, through the mist of early morning fog, she sees Obi standing at the front gate dead eyes locked on hers. He doesn’t speak, but his presence delivers one chilling message: “Protect Amaka.”

Haunted but undeterred, Ifeoma begins digging into Derek’s past. She hacks into Amaka’s phone, pulls his license plate, and calls in an old favor from a police contact in Lagos. What she finds sends a chill down her spine.

But it was the explosion of Nollywood in the 1990s that made him a household name.

He starred in countless Nollywood films, often playing the witty, sarcastic, or foolish but lovable character. Some of his most popular films include:

Ukwa

His Death

Sam Loco Efe passed away on August 7, 2011, in a hotel room in Owerri, Imo State, while shooting a movie. Reports indicated that he had asthma-related complications. He was found dead sitting in a chair, script in hand a poetic and poignant image of a man who literally lived and died with his craft.

His death shocked the nation. Tributes poured in from fans, colleagues, and public figures who all remembered him not just as a comic genius but as a kind, professional, and deeply respected man.

In a world where fame is currency and pride is poison, four Nollywood powerhouses collide in a battle that threatens to destroy everything they’ve built.

Mercy Johnson plays Ifeoma, a seasoned actress and the reigning queen of the industry graceful, powerful, and deeply wounded by betrayal. Her calm exterior masks a storm of secrets.

Angela Okorie is Vanessa, a rebellious starlet with a dark past and a sharper tongue. She’s not just here to act she’s here to take the throne by any means necessary.

Destiny Etiko is Cynthia, the bold new social media sensation with unmatched curves and confidence. But behind the filters and fierce posts is a woman torn between loyalty and legacy.

Zubby Michael plays King Zino, the charming but manipulative film director who knows how to pit powerful women against each other all for fame, money, and control.

When an award-winning movie script surfaces — a story written about the real-life scandal that once tore them apart — old wounds reopen. Accusations of betrayal, backstabbing, and online bullying explode into a full-blown public feud. What started as a casting competition spirals into a war of egos, secrets, and survival.

Online battles become real-world consequences. Fans take sides. Brands pull sponsorships. And in the middle of it all, someone goes missing…

🎬 Title: "Shattered Vows"

Love will be tested. Truth will be revealed. And not everyone will survive.

Amara (Alex Onyi) is a dazzling Lagos socialite and luxury fashion entrepreneur who seems to have it all beauty, money, and a loving fiancé. She’s weeks away from marrying the charming and respected architect Bryan (Maurice Sam), a man every woman dreams of.

But when Amara hires a brilliant but mysterious photographer, Leke (Daniel Etim Effiong), to capture the moments leading to her big day, a spark is lit one that threatens to burn everything she's built to the ground.

Leke is charming and intense, with a past cloaked in secrets. What begins as casual flirtation during pre-wedding shoots soon morphs into something much deeper… and far more dangerous. Amara finds herself torn between loyalty to Bryan and the undeniable pull toward Leke a man who seems to understand parts of her soul she didn’t know were missing.

Bryan isn’t the perfect man he pretends to be. Unknown to Amara, he has been paying Leke under the table not as a photographer, but as a private investigator to test her loyalty. What he didn’t expect? That Leke would fall in love with her for real… and start hiding his own truth.

Things take a dark turn when Amara discovers Leke’s deception just as Bryan prepares to expose her in front of their guests during their engagement party. But someone else knows everything and they’re willing to kill to make sure the secrets stay buried.
