Who says love has to stop at two?
Ola and Simi have a perfect relationship, and things could not be sweeter. Then a casual question over dinner sparks a curiosity they cannot shake. They head out for a night of dancing with one golden rule: they both have to want the same person.
Then they meet Kola, unexpected and impossible for either of them to ignore.
What begins with a spilt drink turns into a dance that blurs every boundary. By sunrise, the question is no longer whether the chemistry was real. It is whether one night could become something more.
