Lateefah Adeleke, a 30 year old businesswoman, initially portrays herself in high esteem, pursuing a lavish posh lifestyle, thereby stamping her authority with high society status. Her encounter with Jide Rhodes, a 35 year old businessman, ends up badly for her as the truth about her life is exposed. Lateefah had pretended to be a person with a business background, when in stark contrast she was raised in abject poverty and was the only child of an illiterate mother.
