The series stars award winning up and comer British actress Amara Okereke ("The Lost Lands", "Red Rose") and young local ensemble talent including Gaosi Raditholo, Carmen Pretorius, Richard Gau, Tarryn Wyngaard and Danica Jones. With plenty of humor and a touch of sexiness, the title tackles the very universal and topical subjects of addictions, personal relationships, and creating a life of your own.
When 25-year-old Birmingham party-girl Nina Morgan wakes up naked on a beach in sunny Cape Town, South Africa, about 6000 miles from home and with all of her stuff missing, it’s clear things haven’t gone to plan. A bunch of young and eccentric local misfits who share a cottage by the beach quickly rescue her from that immediate predicament and help her exact revenge on the asshole who did this to her, but ultimately Nina’s going to have to be the one to rescue herself from herself. Each episode of the series starts "the morning after" , with a bombshell moment, then steps back to discover how our characters ended up here.
