Sweet Hell

Jack has it all: money, a career, and a perfect family - until his wife dies. Devastated, he takes a job in Lagos, Nigeria, to escape from his despair, leaving even his children behind. Abimbola is a student at Lagos University, half Jack's age, high-spirited, but completely penniless. At the weekends, she hangs out with her friends in the vibrant Lagos nightlife, having fun and looking for a way out of poverty. Despite their many differences, Jack and Bimbo become a couple, with Jack as Bimbo's Sugar Daddy and Bimbo preventing Jack from drowning in self-pity. Their physical attraction is as intense as a tropical rainstorm, but the gap in age, culture, and religion is too wide for a real relationship - at least, that's what Jack thinks. Only after his return to Europe Jack realises that true love has been staring him in the face all along. He travels back to Lagos, hoping to find Bimbo and win her back. But is he in time? Or has she moved on? Set against the backdrop of the international oil industry and peppered with vivid anecdotes from daily life in Lagos, the hopeful tale of Jack & Bimbo in search of love takes you on a rollercoaster ride along prejudice, poverty, and corruption.
