The movie follows Tiwa’s character, Aisha, as she returns from a high-flying career as a designer in the US back home to Nigeria to establish herself. But old wounds reopen and she realises the world she left behind has vastly changed.
The movie is directed by Meji Alabi who has directed some of Tiwa’s music videos. The cast includes Jemima Osunde, Andrew Yaw Bunting, and Mike Afolarin.
The movie was shot in Cape Coast, Ghana.
Savage said in an interview with ABC that the film is a story told by a woman from a woman’s point of view. She also said that she has found the story refreshing.

“It's a story first of all told by a female from a female point of view. I'm always an advocate for that and I don't think we have enough of that in the space of Nollywood and just in Africa in general. We do have but I don’t think we have enough. It's refreshing for me. It's a story about love, female empowerment,” she said.
