Sin is a gripping narrative that delves into the intricacies of family relationships, immorality, and redemption. The story unfolds as Osagie Omorodion (Ray Adeka), who was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, gets an executive pardon by the Governor and is released after 14 years for the murder of Imoh’s ( Rick Akan) sister.
The drama extends to Osagie’s family — his father, Chief Julius (Abounce Fawole), who is sick, doesn’t want to see his son and has replaced him with Imoh, his mum Ifueko (Rhoda Albert), who cannot make a decision of her own and is mostly controlled by Chief, as well as his two sisters, the newly engaged Nosa (Stella Chima) and Idia (Amara Nnana).
As the plot unfolds, Osagie is determined to talk to his father and spends the night at the gate, unwilling to leave. He seeks Nurse Hauwa’s (Goodness Oma) help to intercede with Chief on his behalf, but she explains that it is not her place to do so. However, she offers him food and a blanket.
Seeking to make amends through the help of his mother, Ifueko, Osagie and his mother are met with resistance from Imoh and Chief. Despite this rejection, Ifueko insists that Hauwa take care of Osagie and allow him to stay in the house. Although it was a tense situation, Ifueko was determined to do everything to make things right for her son.
With only 8 episodes released, the show writers filled the plot with dramatic twists, showcasing a mix of their family dynamics, immoral entanglements and personal struggles which make it intriguing and emotionally charged.
The compelling progression is captivating and raises a few questions. Why is Chief making Imoh his heir when he has other children? How did Osagie kill Imoh’s sister? Why is Imoh sleeping with Idia when he is engaged to Nosa? Why didn’t Ifueko visit Osagie in prison? And what is the relationship between Imoh and the Omorodions?
