..I decided struggle love is the pits.. you do not hang a Picasso piece in the backroom, you hang it in a mansion..
 
Vimbai, a final year law student at the University of Zimbabwe, is determined not to join the long line of unemployed graduates. She would rather trade sexual favours to get a job than back to living with aunt-turned-stepmother.
Unlike her roommate, Nosihle, the good girl who mistakenly falls in love with the wrong man, Vimbai prides herself on being pragmatic. Even if that means making an enemy out of Ruby, the spoilt socialite who is leading a double life. But in Vimbai's search for someone who can offer her the opulence and grandeur of the Sunshine city, she dances too close to the sun, burns and gets plunges into the shadows that lurk in the underbelly of her dream city.
 
Now Vimbai is faced with two choices; will she opt for a fairytale love or the omnous allur of the shadows?
