The focal point of this story is the Ajasco family and their sarcastic views on important social issues.
Papa Ajasco, the womanizing patriarch, his patient wife Mama Ajasco, their mischievous son Bobo Ajasco, a local playboy named Boy Alinco, a promiscuous gold-digger named Miss Pepeiye, and two illiterate scoundrels named Pa James and Pa Jimoh make up the main ensemble of characters.
