• SYNOPSIS
SERENA is an intelligent and smart young woman from a poor background but she loves to study so that in future she can get a decent job to help her family. The problem is that her father MR. ADAMS falls sick with kidney failure and is retired from his job early and since he was the bread winner of the family there is nobody who can help anymore since her uncle CURTIS has vehemently refused to help. It is up to her to make ends meet and make sure that her father gets treatment, her younger sister finishes school and pay her tuition as well. With the help of her friends JASMINE, MOLLY and GWEN, they resort to prostitution as there is no other way.
MAXWELL on the other hand is a rich man who longs to win the love of Serena but is scared of being rejected judging by what happened with his ex- fiancée DALIA. He gets a chance to help Serena when he gets to know that her father is hospitalized and goes ahead to pay the hospital bills as well as Serena’s tuition and that of her younger sister. Since there is a benefactor, Serena quits prostitution and concentrates on her studies and graduates with good grades in school.
Things are okay between Max and Serena until Max’s ex Dalia shows up again and tries to separate them by bringing up Serena’s past though she doesn’t succeed. EVE who also happens to be Max’s friend tries the same by making Serena feel unworthy of Max’s love but in all this Max keeps his word of loving Serena through thick and thin.
To prove his love, Max decides to call a press conference and goes ahead to propose to her on air as the whole world is watching. That was epic.
