After the death of her husband, Selina is left to raise their son, Dirk, on her own. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, Selina is determined to provide for her son and instill in him a sense of ambition and integrity. As Dirk grows up, he grapples with his own desires and aspirations, torn between his mother’s values and the allure of wealth and success.
