SYNOPSIS
Chuks Oti, mixed-race 419 (advance fee fraud) scammer and illegal immigrant recently
deported back to his home country Nigeria from London. Once there he manages to wangle
his way out of a possible jail term and ends up in the holiday resort city, Calabar, living with
his loyal, much younger British girlfriend Margaret, who insisted on travelling with him to
Nigeria.
Chuks takes on menial jobs to make ends meet, but life is difficult .When he runs into his old
419 mate, Mike, a Nigerian pleasure seeker who is full of wild energy and loves to take risks,
the two down-on-their-luck friends, with no jobs and no prospects, soon find themselves back
in the criminal world.
They become enveloped in a web of scams and danger presided over by the mysterious De
Don, leader of a gang of underground arms and drug dealers, who’s hatched an evil plan to
takeover the peaceful streets of Calabar. Chuks and Mike are forced to become part of a dangerous covert police mission led by two
internationally trained detectives to stop De Don and keep the streets of Calabar free of crime.
But they soon find themselves the targets, as the evil De Don suspects a double cross.
Pursued across the breathtaking scenery of Cross River State by De Don and his guards as
well as a raging group of Cameroonian “yardies”, not to mention one very pissed off cattle
herdsman, time ticks down to an explosive climax.
Writer and former BBC/CNN reporter and presenter, Charles Aniagolu, weaves an intricate
and funny story in this thriller-comedy, with a cleverness and wit that will leave you tense and
laughing at the same time.
