Blurred Lines S1
Blurred Lines follows four friends – Max, Joe, Rachel and Chantal – whose lives begin to spiral out of control when sins of the past catch up with them. When Chantal finds out her boyfriend Max cheated on her with Rachel a few years ago, she devises a revenge plan to teach Rachel a lesson, and to drive a wedge between Rachel and her boyfriend, Joe. But things quickly get out of hand, leading to a tragedy that no one saw coming.
Directed and produced by Dickson Dzakpasu (An African City, Trending Crimes), Blurred Lines stars Marie Humbert (An African City, 40 and Single), Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice and Africa Movie Academy Award winner Christabel Ekeh (Love or Something Like That, V-Republic), Ani Iyoho (One Lagos Night, Ratnik), Deji Olowu (Housekeepers) and Godwin Namboh (Little Problems, Eden).
