Collision Course Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis of the film reads, “A law enforcement officer tries to make ends meet by soliciting bribes. But a tense run-in with a wealthy young musician changes his life forever.”
It is a heart-thumping story told in 24 hours about the lives of a law enforcement agent and an aspiring musician. It explores the seedy underbelly of rogue law enforcement officers and the painful and atrocious results of their actions as they collide head-on with the struggling musician and the conflicted member of the police force.
Inspired by the October 2020 anti-police brutality protests in Lagos, Abuja and many other cities in southern Nigeria the film is a reminder of how many Nigerian youths took to the streets to demand an end to what they called endemic police brutality. The film shows that a police officer sets up a roadblock to extract money from drivers, only to encounter the frustrated young artist with a pregnant wife.
After accidentally shooting dead the musician, the plot sets in motion a chain of events that leads to emotional trauma, arrest and a note-worthy commentary on the state of affairs within the police force.
