Get To Know...

Michael


A student of the streets Michael aspired to be doctor but for lack of school fees ended up being a community health worker/clinical of ficer. He financed his diploma as well as his blind brother’s education through hawking; first groundnuts then clothes and finally small electronics.

He is an extremely sharp and charming young man with a heart of gold. He loathes alcohol following the beatings he and his mother would receive from his alcoholic deceased father. A bleeding heart, he would sacrifice his last piece of bread to save a dying dog. It would seem fate has a different destiny for him as despite his best efforts he keeps getting sucked back into a world he would rather leave behind.

Tiwi


Grew up in the same impoverished neighbourhood as Michael and was part of his early gang. Wanting to be an instrument of change, Tiwi chose a career in journalism hoping to highlight society’s ills in order to spur reform. Life however threw her a curveball in the form of acute kidney failure necessitating bi-weekly dialysis. This coupled with disillusionment about reforming society changed her as the need to survive superseded her natural instinct to do good and pursue the love of her life.

Instead she went with Michael’s other childhood friend but now sworn enemy Dero, a gangster, who could afford her dialysis bills and has since earned a reputation for ruthlessness in her new world.

Get To Know...

Dero


Dero could have been a CEO if that is what he aspired to but being a gangster is all he has ever dreamt of. He lives and breathes the code and worships all the bad men he has read about or watched in the movies from Al Capone to Pablo Escobar and Frank Lucas. He is not averse to doing anything as long as it will make him and his bosses money. Equally brawn, brain and ruthlessness he has always desperately wanted to be the leader of his gang, to be feared and to be fabulously wealthy from the proceeds of crime. He is meticulous, calculating and spine chillingly shrewd.

Teams up with Michael to fight the cartel though his motivations are different.
