Pascal Tokodi stars as Nelson the rich, young boy who falls in love with Selina, played by new talent discovery Celestine Gachohi.  While Abel and Alex among others make for a riveting drama in this trail-blazing TV nugget in giving an age difference, the social circumstances between the protagonists, the show makes the seemingly hopeless romance more impossible to achieve.

Kristina is simply looking to make some easy money from Selina. All the drama unravels when Selina falls for the youngest son of the house where she is deployed to work.

Selina promises dramatic and emotional instances played out by a cast ensemble of seasoned as well as upcoming talent in the industry. Talent in the new series includes popular as well as upcoming local talent from the region.
