Four thirty-something girlfriends navigate the complexities of love and life in upmarket Johannesburg.

Nomzamo yearns to have her own child, but her husband keeps postponing. Is he truly too busy or is something else going on?

Kioni is in seventh heaven when Michael finally wants to commit. But does he really? Or is he just trying to get back into her bed?

Single mom Jazmine has sworn off love – until a charming new doctor arrives at her hospital, testing her resolve.

And Asanda, fiercely independent and at the top of her game, is determined to find the perfect man to match her perfect life.
