Culture Custodian reports that the film was produced by Mo Abudu‘s EbonyLife Studios and shared some plot details.
the dramatic thriller tells the story of two friends, Sarah and Kemi. Sarah is engaged to her dream man, Kola. While their life looks idyllic on the outside, it holds a dark side behind closed doors as Kola is a physically abusive, controlling fiancé. Despite her friend’s concerns, Sarah is determined to press on with the wedding. On the day of the traditional engagement ceremony, tragedy strikes and Kemi accidentally kills Kola. Fearing that no one will believe that she acted in self-defence, the friends decide to cover up the death, unintentionally setting off a catastrophic series of events.
