Synopsis
Hustle tells the tale of Dayo, a gullible but optimistic young man who moves to Lagos with dreams of making it big. Dayo quickly learns that it is never as it seems as he comes to terms with hilariously catastrophic neighbors, an antagonistic landlady, and a shady yet loyal roommate. All these characters nonetheless share an unwavering hope for tomorrow, and they are buoyed by the "Lagos spirit", the spirit of the hustle.{{cite web |title=Get the Scoop on a New TV Series "Hustle" starring Sola Sobowale, Afeez Oyetoro, Seun Ajayi, Stephanie Coker & More {{!}} Teaser |url=https://www.bellanaija.com/2016/09/get-the-scoop-on-a-new-tv-series-hustle-starring-sola-sobowale-afeez-oyetoro-seun-ajayi-stephanie-coker-more-teaser/ |website=BellaNaija |access-date=26 January 2022 |date=26 September 2016}}
