Kenyan actress, Nancy Wanjiku Karanja, 24, features in a key story line about rape when her character Baby is attacked by a trusted older relative. Other themes playing out against the background of Kenya's clubs, bars, hangouts and ghettos include commercial sex and male homosexuality.

Nancy Karanja is joined in the heartfelt drama by a sizzling cast, including Kenyan singer, Avril (Miss B'have), Sharon Olago (Violet), David Omwange (Skola), Nick Mutuma (Leo), Antony Mwangi (Kennedy), Valerie Kimani (Sindi), Nick Ndeda (Angelo), Brenda Wairimu (Dala), Edward Nyanaro (Rayban), Christopher Otieno (Slim) and Wairugi Mutero (Njoki).
