Quando una sera Korede riceve una telefonata della sorella sa già, purtroppo, cosa Ayoola si aspetta da lei: candeggina, guanti di gomma, nervi d'acciaio e stomaco forte. Questo è il terzo fidanzato che Ayoola uccide per autodifesa - dice lei - e la terza scena del crimine che le chiede di pulire. Korede dovrebbe andare dalla polizia ma vuole troppo bene alla sorellina, e la famiglia viene prima di tutto. Almeno finché Ayoola, la figlia prediletta e bellissima di cui tutti si innamorano, non inizia a frequentare il dottore con il quale Korede lavora e di cui è innamorata.

Korede ist verbittert. Und wie sollte sie auch nicht? Ihre Schwester Ayoola ist das Lieblingskind, die Schöne - und wahrscheinlich psychopathisch. Und jetzt ist schon ihr dritter Freund nacheinander tot. Koredes praktische Veranlagung rettet ihre Schwester. Sie kennt die besten Tricks, um Blut zu entfernen, ihr Kofferraum ist groß genug für eine Leiche, und sie weist ihre Schwester darauf hin, dass man keine fröhlichen Bilder auf Instagram posten sollte, während man eigentlich gerade trauert. Aber Anerkennung bekommt sie dafür nicht.
