Growing up in Lagos without a father wasn't easy for Chinedu and his siblings but they managed well. His mother's constant care and supervision were all that kept him in check. Yet, he felt strangely out of place in his own the family. Now a man, he quickly finds out that life is not as exciting as he once believed it to be. His brother is an accomplished banker and his sister owns a popular TV-show but he's just an underachieved artist. They soon forget their younger brother-Chinedu who can't even pay his rent or feed properly without asking for their financial aid. Frustrated, he sets out on a perilously profane path to financial liberty. When his siblings learn of his illicit dealings, they are distraught; their relationship with their brointher degenerates further into something worse than envy and contempt. Meanwhile, their mother is terribly sick in the village; she's caught in between saving her family and keeping her health as her family sadly falls apart.
