Motivated by Chika, her outgoing cousin and roommate, Ije agrees to go out in Lagos to celebrate this good news. At the club, they meet two young men (Ema and John) with whom they immediately hit it off and have a good time. Sparks fly between Ije and John as they experience strong chemistry. So, at the end of the night, John offers to drive Ije and Chika home. However, during the drive, they are stopped by two Nigerian police officers. The officers aggressively question John, Ije, and Chika about their activities and a drunk Chika takes offense. She starts an argument with the officers, resulting in the girls being forced out of the car. During the altercation, Ije is shot and killed. Written by
