Description

When Nkem, an economics students at Heineken University, moves back to Nigeria from the United

States after many months of ASUU strike in his country, a melodramatic war with Dr Okoye his beer-

obsessed lecturer begins. The alcoholic has slept with Chioma, the boy's girlfriend, in exchange for good

grades, Cabin biscuits and bread. And infuriatingly, the bread is not buttered, according to the painter

called Ifenna who's Nkem's effeminate roommate and friend. The unexpected affair compels Nkem to

throw the girl and the artist out of his heart. The war gets worse when Mrs Chiamaka, Okoye's colleague

and soldier's wife who's desperate for a male child, joins the heartbroken Nkem to fight the enemy.

Ifenna is also on Nkem's side, though he's busy running away from several faceless boys who want to

murder him for being different.

When it seems impossible for the two boys to graduate with decent results, or for Nkem to bring

Chioma back into his life, Nkem must try to take a life or lives before leaving the university with his pride bruised.
