The film centres on Omotara Johnson, played by Bukky Wright, a woman with a deep hatred for men and a relentless appetite for getting what she wants, regardless of who stands in her way. She covets her best friend Kemi Ajibodu’s fiancé, Tunde Bamgbopa, and her pursuit of him leads to a trail of betrayal, manipulation, and murder. She eventually lands in prison, receives a pardon through a powerful chief, and briefly turns over a new leaf, only to find herself tangled in fresh consequences.
