In the bustling city of Lagos, Jana, a successful but conflicted young man, grapples with his uncle’s insistence on upholding a sacred village tradition: marrying his late brother’s widow, Chin, as a “second-hand wife” to honor family and culture. Dismissing it as outdated, Jana clings to his glamorous girlfriend Vivian, who demands luxury but overlooks his generosity, leading to fiery clashes—”You call this a phone?” she scoffs at his gift. As Chin arrives unannounced, her humble spirit clashes with Jana’s urban arrogance; he mocks her cooking and threatens misery to drive her away, yet she persists with quiet strength, tending to his home and health. Amidst jealousy from Vivian and Jana’s growing jealousy over Chin’s admirer Felix, a shocking twist unfolds: Jana’s “dead” brother Nonso, faked his death and was trafficked to America by deceitful Alicia, enduring exploitation before escaping and returning. Confrontations peak as Nonso claims Chin, but Jana, transformed by her unwavering loyalty, declares, “I can’t give her up,” embracing their bond in a heartfelt union that defies expectations.
