Synopsis:

Boyfriend For Hire

Tomiwa Adebayo hasn't dated anyone since a devastating breakup eight years ago, when she discovered her ex-boyfriend's betrayal. Now in her late twenties, she's focused on her career—but her mother has other plans. Obsessed with seeing her daughter married and grandchildren in her life, her mother pressures Tomiwa relentlessly.

When a fresh betrayal from her fiancé threatens her chance to take over the family business, Tomiwa makes a bold and unconventional choice: she hires a random street passerby to pose as her boyfriend. Enter Kieran, a popular billionaire heir with a notorious temper and a reputation for being mentally unstable. Rumors paint him as an old man stuck in a wheelchair—but appearances are deceiving. He agrees to the arrangement, mainly to stop his own mother's incessant nagging.

Set against the chaotic, vibrant backdrop of Lagos, Nigeria, the story follows Tomiwa as she navigates a web of betrayal, heartbreak, rejections, and fake hatred. Alongside step-daughters Shola and Teni, she discovers allies in unexpected places and confronts enemies both inside and outside her circle.

What starts as a convenient lie soon spirals into a thrilling game of strategy, suspense, and emotions. Tomiwa and Kieran are forced to face their fears, outsmart dangerous enemies, and confront their own growing attraction. As fake hatred gives way to genuine love, they realize that the stakes are higher than ever—not just for their hearts, but for their lives and the future of everything they hold dear.

Boyfriend For Hire is a laugh-out-loud, heart-pounding romantic comedy that explores trust, love, ambition, and the unrelenting chaos of Lagos life—a story where love can be faked, hatred can be real, and betrayal can strike closest to home.
