Description
Summary:
Follows the lives of multiple characters trying to find themselves in a world of political intrigue, revenge, and love, in the midst of a thriving but unregulated veve business. Amos, an ambitious politician, is running for another term as Maua MP while facing his opponent Wadu in the extension of his veve empire. His wife Esther discovers the truth about Amos and seeks solace in Kenzo, a conflicted young man out to seek vengeance for his father's death. Sammy, Amos' right hand man, has to choose between being loyal to his work and being a caring father to his 12-year-old son Kago. Maua's veve farmers want to form a union to force Amos to pay decent prices for their veve. Clint, a hedonistic wannabe documentary filmmaker, meddles too far. Their destinies are entwined in more ways than they imagine.--IMDb, viewed June 1, 2018.
