This thrilling murder-mystery pits five hard-nosed telecoms execs – Nigerian, Kenyan, Moroccan, Ivorian and South African – against each other at a luxury beach resort as they vie for the CEO position at a global firm.

Their Apprentice-style elimination is presided over by a steely consultant (played by Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo) and things start to go awry as rivalries intensify and intrigue and murder ensue. Set on beautiful beaches on the outskirts of Lagos, and demonstrating the acting and production talent of several African countries, acclaimed director Kunle Afolayan brings us a truly Pan-African Nollywood experience.

Presented by the UK African Film Festivals Network (Film Africa, Africa in Motion Film Festival, Afrika Eye, Watch Africa and the Cambridge African Film Festival) and as part of BFI BLACK STAR, taking place across the UK, with the support of the BFI Programme Development Fund, awarding funds from the National Lottery. #BFIBLACKSTAR
