A compelling story of complacence, karma, ethnic prejudice, moral justifications and redemption. Set in New York and Lagos, Nigeria, Ade (Igoni Archibong) is a playboy Nigerian-American investment banker working at a successful firm in New York City. He is in a relationship with keen-to-marry African-American Stacey (KD Aubert). Her family (Ernie Hudson, Cynda Williams) had been cautious of this « African » but begins to warm to him due to his professional success and charm. However, Ade’s manipulative mother (Patience Ozokwor) back in Nigeria would rather her son gets serious and dumps « that girl with no traceable roots » in favour of a wife from within her social circle. He is tricked into visiting Nigeria only to discover an arranged marriage had already been conducted on his behalf with a complete stranger.
