Trouble is always lurking around the corner. Some of us go looking for it but sometimes it finds us and has its way with us. It often shows up all dressed up in good intentions to lobby the bright eyed and bushy tailed down a crooked path. For those who are street wise, having danced on the bad side one time too many times the lines between right and wrong get blurry and the slope is more slippery.

Simi and Zamani appear to have strayed as the city lures them into it’s dark and questionable corners. When a rich and powerful businessman like Banzi offers his help to the pair, little do they see that there is a price tagging hiding in the reigns. Scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours or else it’s an eye for an eye may as well be the sound track of the city.

While Zamani was handed a job in his elite night club where sex and seduction are the selling points, Simi continues to sit – albeit reluctantly - at the receiving end of money in envelopes shrouded in secrecy.

Indeed seduction came with the job as Zamani found himself the object of the sultry Vivian’s desires. Noting the affect she had on him she lured him into a compromising corner one night at had her way with him.

The whole affair was caught on Sne’s camera phone and the result was a viral video that left him exposed and very likely in trouble.

Simi may not have gone as far but she is also treading on dangerous ground wherever she is. Her relationship with Banzi has caused concern. Although on the surface it appears above board we can all sense a chemistry, especially from Banzi. If he isn’t handing her ‘parcel’ after ‘parcel’ he’s making eyes at the damsel. Eyes that have left many of us wondering.

Are Zamani and Simi in too deep?
