In her final year at the University of Lagos, Funke Adeyemi and her close-knit group of friends make a bold pact: prioritizing their burgeoning careers over marriage until they reach significant professional milestones. This vow, a radical defiance in a society where marriage is often viewed as the pinnacle of a woman’s achievement, guides Funke as she carves out a niche for herself in the male-dominated tech industry. However, Funke harbors a secret that could unravel the persona she’s meticulously built: she became a mother at 19, and her child, raised by her parents, believes Funke is her older sister.

 

Everything turns upside down when Atonye Peters, Funke’s high school crush turned fintech mogul, becomes a partner at her firm. Their rekindled connection not only reignites old flames but also threatens to expose Funke’s carefully guarded life, balancing motherhood with her professional aspirations in secrecy.

 

Atonye, navigating the societal terrain as a single father and battling his demons secretly (bipolar disorder), brings his own set of challenges to the fore. His open commitment to his child contrasts sharply with Funke’s concealed motherhood, setting the stage for a complex exploration of gender roles and expectations. As Funke and Atonye’s worlds collide, they are forced to confront the intricacies of love, the weight of hidden truths, and the societal pressures that shape their lives.

 

The pact, once a symbol of independence and ambition, now looms over Funke as a daunting deadline, compelling her to reevaluate her choices and those she stands to make. Set amidst the hustle and bustle of Lagos, “Till Truth Do Us Part” is a testament to the enduring power of love, the transformative nature of secrets, and the relentless pursuit of personal and professional fulfillment.
