Akwaaba Magic’s first-ever thriller, La Manor (DStv CH 150 | GOtv CH 102), has kept viewers gripped with its masterful blend of forbidden love, ancestral curses, class warfare, and lingering ghosts. Spanning decades of Ghanaian history, the series follows two intertwined love stories — one in 1962 and one in 1984 — both trapped in the same cursed manor, where passion collides violently with power, betrayal, and supernatural retribution.
1962: Dedei’s rebellion and the curse’s birth
In the colonial twilight of 1962, young Dedei secretly defies her wealthy father’s demands for a status marriage. She chooses love over legacy, marrying Kpakpo, a man from a lower class. Their union triggers a quiet rebellion inside the manor walls — but the price is steep. Dark secrets surface. Betrayals deepen. The marriage ends in a tragic, blood-stained climax. Trust shatters. And something ancient awakens. The ancestral curse is born — activated by suppressed emotions, disturbed relics, and a refusal to accept love across class lines.
1984: Sowah and Atswei inherit the nightmare
Fast-forward to 1984. Sowah, a working-class carpenter with dreams bigger than his tools, marries into wealth to prove that love can cross any divide. He and Atswei settle into life at the manor, determined to build something new. But the house has other plans. Lingering secrets and unspoken traumas from 1962 resurface. Atswei begins suffering a strange illness — haunting visions, unexplained fevers, memories that are not her own. The curse, still alive, feeds on suppressed emotion. Strange, unexplainable events unfold. The manor’s silence becomes sinister.
The curse’s true horror
As Sowah digs deeper to save his marriage, he uncovers the ghost’s mystery — and realises the real terror isn’t the supernatural. It’s the living deception he’s entangled in. Dedei’s marriage exposed dark secrets and betrayal. Sowah and Atswei face ghostly visions and dangerous alliances that threaten their lives and the future they hope to claim. Power, wealth, old debts, and buried pain bind everyone trapped in the manor. Every character is haunted — not just by spirits, but by the consequences of choices made decades earlier.
The manor itself is the silent witness — a beautiful prison of class, love, and curses that refuse to fade. Watch La Manor every Monday at 8:30pm.
