Love On The Brain

A cheater, a back-stabbing friend and a psycho girlfriend. What could go wrong? What seems
like a playful plan between friends, Mark and Ibrah, to try and save Mark’s relationship turns into
an opportunity for an infatuated and obsessed lady, Njeri. She attempts to ignore the rumors of
Mark’s infidelity until it all comes crashing down when she receives evidence from none other
then Ibrah.
