Ejikeme, a struggling artist, borrows money from a shady loan app to give his girlfriend, Akumjeli, a dream birthday. They party hard with music, drugs, booze and sex, and trip harder, laughing their way into a psychedelic trip, until reality crashes in the form of debt collectors under the appearances of a Masquerade, a Babaláwo, and a rooster. What follows is a surreal and satirical descent into Nigeria’s failing economy and financial underworld, where dreams are collateral and love is just another expense.
