With open arms, the trusting residents of a Nigerian Close welcome a Politician's long lost American son into their world. He responds to their kindness by establishing a Ponzi Scheme which leaves them in a situation desperate enough to inspire an amateur heist. The heist does not go according to plan.
The movie is based on the experiences of Nigerians during the 2016 MMM online scheme, which promised 30% returns on investment. The scheme inadvertently crashed and put subscribers in distress. In an interview, the movie's producer, said the project was aimed at sensitising Nigerians to avoid get-rich-quick schemes.
