About Pete:
Pete follows the fight between two brothers, Mbura (older brother) and Jasiri (younger brother), to attain the right to rule Funzi Island after the death of their father Dalu. At the center of this controversy is the leadership tool, the ring (PETE). Also, keen on getting their hands on the ring are the mermaids, who send their beautiful daughter, Safira, to acquire the ring which threatens to end the mermaid generation if they don’t claim it from humans.
As the show progresses, the viewers get to witness Jasiri finding himself entangled in a love triangle when he has both Safira and the village beauty Nuru brawling for his love. Safira consequently forgets her objective of taking the ring in the first season and returning it to her family underwater! Jasiri, on the other hand, has also lost his leadership and is now working to stabilize the economy of Funzi by reviving the quarry whilst Mbura sells the quarry’s prime land in exchange for favors from an investor leaving Jasiri feeling betrayed and seeking revenge for all the bad deeds of his elder brother.
