The plot of the film revolves around a young woman from the ghetto who is called Isila (Toyin Abraham) and encounters a ghost called Mike (Sambasa Nzeribe) in need of her assistance to communicate with the people he left behind. At the ghost's request, she becomes tangled and puzzled in solving a murder mystery and her life takes an interesting turn. Only she knows and understand what would happen in the future.[5]

gollark: I am annoyed by how hard Amazon makes it to get the ebooks I bought (realistically, bought a license to legally) out of their walled garden and onto Calibre in some sort of actually standard format. Apparently I can't get any sort of usable files off the Android app, and I've lost my actual Kindle hardware, so I've had to download some ancient version of their Windows client and run it in Wine.
