    Torn from his father and a loving sister, the young student Zuba is falsely imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. What seems at first to be an irksome judiciary misunderstanding gradually becomes a journey through the hell of Nigerian prisons. Only by showing the utmost daring and integrity will Zuba be able to regain his freedom.

      A decent page turner everyday life, love, corruption and prison life in Nigeria. It would make a good film. As is necessary good triumphs in the end but there are the required twists and turns on the way. A list of interesting, amusing, dangerous, worthy and pitiable characters enter and leave at appropriate points. Nollywood could have a blockbuster on its hands.
