Plot

After realising that she is the wealthy but closeted Yomi Kester-Jacobs' (Paul Utomi) beard, Oyin Clegg (Ade Laoye) is torn between two choices—a prosperous lavender marriage, or the degrading return to singledom in her late 30s. After considering the pros and cons, and despite her former boyfriend Ade (Efa Iwara) begging for a reconciliation, Oyin decides to proceed with the wedding. However, the ceremony is thwarted when her former boss Ossy (Charles Etubiebi)—now a bank manager—outs Yomi during the banns. His double life now exposed, Yomi cancels the wedding in front of the guests, and a devastated Oyin is abandoned at the altar.

Despite public ridicule—including a Nollywood film parodying her humiliation—Oyin boldly returns to work and discovers she has a secret admirer. She agrees to meet him for a date, only to find he is none other than Ossy, whose advances she had previously turned down. She furiously accuses him of ruining her wedding for his own benefit and refuses his request to become his side chick (Ossy is now married to her best friend Gloria (Muna Abii) who, unbeknown to Oyin, is in an abusive marriage).

Later that evening with Gloria and her other best friend Toke (Kehinde Bankole), Gloria not only reveals the true nature of her marriage but also pleads with Oyin to consider her husband's request, which Oyin heatedly refuses. The argument escalates further when Gloria confesses she had slept with Toke's current boyfriend Olumide (Demi Banwo) whom she had first met during her studies in America. Upon Gloria's arrival home, Ossy physically attacks his pregnant wife, causing her to lose their unborn baby. Oyin and Toke visit her in the hospital, and the three women plot their revenge on Ossy.

Gloria gathers sufficient evidence proving Ossy has secretly defrauded his bank. Simultaneously, Oyin sends Ossy flirtatious texts, arranging for them to meet at her house to fulfil her erotic fantasies and he agrees, not realising he is being set up. On his way to her house, Oyin instructs him to meet her in the living room naked when she is waiting for him in the dark, to which he agrees. He switches on the light and finds himself fully undressed amidst guests at a surprise party where a now-healed Gloria, flanked by Oyin and Toke, reveals incriminating texts and images proving his violence towards his wife. To avoid certain criminal charges, he agrees to sign divorce papers and compensate her financially, but although the friends promise not to shame him via revenge porn, Ossy's images are circulated via social media, causing further disgrace.

At the nightclub where the three friends celebrate Gloria's new-found freedom, Toke announces she is pregnant with her toyboy boyfriend Olumide's (Demi Banwo) baby, but has broken up with him. Toke and Gloria accept Oyin's invitation to her church the next day, and during an after-service meeting with Pastor T (Tope Tedela), Oyin's ex-boyfriend Akin arrives, once again pleading with her to take him back. She initially refuses, but finally forgives him. The story ends with Oyin and Akin engaged six months later.
