She is more beautiful than any of her siblings, and her complexion is lighter which is unusual in a village dominated by people of African descent. She is a rather withdrawn child who feels sad because of the lack of father figure in her life.

Louise has a zeal and dedication for her studies. She aces her class, despite the bullying she got from other kids at school. One day, her mother introduces to them a new man in their lives. His name is Geoffrey. This change in their lives becomes the reason why Louise's hatred and lack of trust for men resurfaced. That experience paves a way for her to be wild. She is no longer the same Louise. She basks with the power she has over men, dominating them by using her charms as a woman. Many obstacles befall Louise that seems life is hopeless for her, until she meets Raymond. Is there a chance of happiness for Louise after all?
