In the bustling heart of Lagos, Leon lives two lives - one offline, full of laughter, cooking, and dancing; and another online, where he hides behind a username, searching for connection and truth.
When nights stretch long and the glow of his phone becomes his only light, Leon begins to question who he really is - and who he's pretending to be.
Through unexpected friendships, late-night movie chats, and the courage to share his own words on stage, Leon starts a journey of self-discovery that's both vulnerable and brave. He learns that identity isn't about fitting into labels, but about finding peace in honesty - about being real, even when the world expects you to pretend.
Finding Leon is a modern coming-of-age story about curiosity, courage, and the beauty of becoming yourself in a world that wants you to choose.
