She is the first person from the family to go to Duhaga Senior Secondary School and she excels. There she meets Steven, a rich but gentle hunk. Before her O-levels she becomes pregnant. Her father’s anger is wild. He throws her and her mother out of the home. There is no news of her true love, Steven.

Slowly Kasemiire pulls herself up, through miseries, betrayal and disappointments, until she wins her rightful success.
