It’s the nineties in Lagos, and aspiring ingenue Ayamma yearns for the glitz and glamor of movie stardom, landing an audition with Nollywood’s hottest director seeking a fresh face. Between fights with the resident diva and igniting sparks with Nigeria’s “Sexiest Man Born,” Ayamma’s dreams of leaving her travel agency job behind for a thrilling life might just come true.
