There’s a certain kind of hunger that lives in people who refuse to stay on the ground floor. 

SYNOPSIS:
Employee of the Year isn’t your typical office romance. It’s a high-stakes story set inside the high-pressure world of Rubicon Diamond Realtors, where every floor climbed comes with a cost. At the center is Nana Bello, sharp, driven and done waiting for recognition. But just as she begins to rise, love walks in… disguised, complicated, ad dangerously tied to secrets that could destroy everything she’s worked for. 

As ambition collides with betrayal, and power reveals its darkest corners, Nana is forced into a game far bigger than promotion or prestige. It becomes a question of survival, truth, and how far she’s willing to go when success is no longer clean. 

This is more than a love story.
This is a climb.
And not everyone makes it to the top. 

Commissioned as an Africa Magic Original, the movie is produced by Hadizat Ibrahim, written by Pearl Agwu and directed by Muyiwa Aluko and Hadizat Ibrahim. If you are ready to see how far ambition can take you, Employee of the Year is now streaming on Showmax.
