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 take over 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.
