Time Period: PresentStory Location: AfricaSpecial Effects: Minimal SFXTarget Audience: Young AdultIt's somewhere in Africa, and it's the year 2022. Ngozi Nyerere is fast asleep in her bedroom.
There's a pile of books on her desk inscribed with ideologies of renowned political ideologies, such
as Muammar Gaddafi and Malcolm X, and a photograph of her in a protest looking fierce with her
clenched fist in the air. Beside her is an opened laptop, which plays an 80's documented footage
of the late South African political activist, Robert Nkani. Ngozi lives with Mr. and Mrs. Nyerere
in a suburban area. Mr. Nyerere has a flashback dream, somewhere in Africa, where he is on a
train alone on an aisle seat during the 80s. Suddenly, Robert Nkani, who's wearing a military
uniform resemblance, walks down the aisle towards him, then utters a few words and fades away
as he continues walking down the endless aisle. After that mystical dream, he shows mixed
emotions of confusion and worries but tries to keep it cool. Mr. Nyerere convenes his wife, Mrs.
Nyerere, and Ngozi to a family meeting. Mr. Nyerere informs Ngozi about how they met Robert
Nkani while traveling by train during the 80s. Then, in a typically twisted move, Mr. Nyerere drops
a bombshell when he reveals that Robert Nkani is Ngozi's biological father! Mr. and Mrs. Nyerere
hands over the document to Ngozi at the end of the family meeting. The meeting ends in tears!
Ngozi is perplexed by what she heard, especially realizing that Mr. and Mrs. Nyerere are not her
biological parents. While in such a state, she decides to call her best friend and confide in her.
While confiding in her, Ngozi hints at the document as her best friend's father eavesdrops on the
conversation. Little did Ngozi know that this call marks the beginning of her terror! Ngozi is in
her room, doing some research about her father on the internet. The doorbell rings, and she exits
the room only to find her foster parents taped and held at gunpoint by two criminals who are after
the document. It ends up a gruesome scene with Ngozi as the sole survivor! As the story unfolds,
Ngozi soon realizes that the document contains the most scandalous assassination plots!
Shockingly, the document entails even the plot of her father's assassination! The events that
unfolded in Ngozi's country, force her to flee to South Africa, where she meets her biological
father's comrade, who is now the Mayor. The Mayor sets up a conference meeting to allow Ngozi
to expose the culprits. In addition, the Mayor realizes the danger Ngozi is in, so they establish the
task force that will protect Ngozi till the day of the conference. We follow Ngozi as she escapes
