Based on Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani's 2009 novel, this dramatic comedy tells the story of Kingsley, the first-born of his family, burdened with all the benefits and responsibilities that entail including the need to graduate and find a job so that he can take care of his family. The threat of poverty can send even the most reverent of men down a gloomy path and unable to find work, he is seduced by the life his uncle, Boniface, aka "Cash Daddy," leads, and the things it affords him. Together, they provide the ultimate foils for each other, as the morality tale unfolds.
