The Royal Hibiscus Hotel

Ope (Zainab Balogun) is struggling to make it as a chef in London and dreams of opening her own Afro-fusion restaurant. But she keeps hitting roadbloacks in her attempts to get her business going, and she finally quits her job when it becomes clear that her flare for exploring finer fare isn't appreciated. Unsure of what to do next, she heads home to Lagos to reinvigorate the palates of the guests at her family's hotel. Little does she know, however, that her parents (Jide Kosoko, Rachel Oniga) are planning on selling the establishment. The plot takes another tasty twist when the buyer turns out to be none other than the eye-catching Deji (Kenneth Okolie). Will this set-up be a recipe for disaster or one for true love?
