At age 15, Orah Dokubo killed a man in Nigeria before fleeing Africa with her infant son. Seventeen years later, Orah is an illegal immigrant in Canada and working as a taxi driver for an attorney and his high-profile Nigerian client, Bami Hazar, who are both involved in international money laundering. After Hazar orders the murder of Orah’s son, she begins a revenge spree to bring Hazar to justice and has to resort to violence to settle the score when all legal options fail.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lonzo Nzekwe is part of a wave of Nollywood-diaspora directors reframing African stories through Western genre lenses—think City of God via Lagos and Toronto.
The taxi scenes mirror real Toronto exploitation of undocumented drivers; Orah's 'invisibility' is systemic, not metaphorical.
