After being sent to Nigeria against his will, a stubborn Nigerian-American teenager joins forces with an internet scammer to return to the United States.

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

A film that feels authentic but should be wholly accessible to auds who pay far more attention to American indies than Nollywood imports.

New York Times

Is making do enough, or is there an honest way to prosper in a country with law, but no justice, where the corrupt police have jaunty berets, big guns and slippery loyalties?

[Okoro] creates a drama with a vivid and personalized sense of locale (the streets are alive), and he shows us how the characters emerge from it...

It's Just Movies

A coming of age dramedy that loses its way in the mean streets of modern Africa.

Rated: 7/10

A flawed first feature film, but it shows a great deal of promise.

Absolutely great and well written movie. The movie was very exciting and very entertaining. I really enjoyed watching this. I would give this movie 10/10 if I could. The director, writer, producer and all the actors deserve awards.

The movie leaves you sad or disappointed.... There's a country full of poverty, corruption, and turmoil and you see Eze dive right in to that aspect of the country. But you know that Nigeria must also have plenty of beauty and good people -- and you can only assume Eze learns about that a good long while after the movie has ended. Also, the burger Eze was eating shortly after meeting his aunt was Nigerian food? Are we sure about that?

Great ending. This movie kept me interested until the end, which is not easy to find in movies these days. A little predictable but still has suspense.
