Reeling with grief from their recent breakup, Kalu and Aima are drawn into separate nights of decadence in the heart of New Lagos: a city teeming with traffic, polluted air and cracked faith.

Tonight, the pair are desperate to forget about their troubles. But when Kalu visits an exclusive sex party hosted by his best friend, Ahmed, he makes a decision that plunges the couple and their friends into the city's corrupt and glittering underworld.
