SYNOPSIS:

COSY (24), a beautiful Nigerian woman, follows her bossy best friend, AYO (25) to the mountains of Colorado, USA, on a temporary-worker program. Cosy dreams of a better life and achieving the American dream. Instead, she finds low wages, slave-like working conditions, and outlandishly high prices for rent, food, and utilities at the hands of her nemesis taskmaster, MS. HECH (44), who is little more than a heartless human-trafficker. After an attempted sexual assault by the staff’s pilot, RJ (45), Cosy steals the pilot’s expensive coat and escapes across snow-packed mountains to Denver. The coat, however, contains money and the pilot’s smartphone with photos that document sexual abuse and incriminate the group’s human-trafficking activities. Ms. Hech sends her Russian bodyguard, ALEXI (45) to retrieve Cosy and the phone. The chase is on.

Cosy escapes with the aid of a sympathetic FBI AGENT NEWMAR (40) and his friend, FATIMA (40), a U.N. official battling international crime and human injustices. For Cosy, freedom is worth dying for, and revenge is worth living for. It’s up to her to prevent slavery in the 21st Century.

Back in Lagos, Nigeria, Cosy enlists the aid of her rookie policeman friend, CHINEDU (25), to track the Nigerians involved in the trafficking ring. The chase uncovers frightened government agents and secretive underworld characters, and spans from Nigeria’s scenic national parks to trendy nightclubs in Abuja. Alexi gets help in the manhunt from thugs employed by the human-trafficking kingpin of Lagos, CHIEF HABIB (40).

Human trafficker’s capture Cosy’s two friends: Ayo, and a female hacker known as the KNIGHT (30), a former employee hiding from the Chief. Meanwhile, Ms. Hech and RJ have returned to Nigeria to expand their trafficking activities with the Chief. Simultaneously, Fatima fails to rally support for battling human-trafficking from the National Intelligence Agency and other government administrators. Everyone cares a little, but no one cares a lot.

Cosy and Chinedu enlist the help of Fatima and Agent Newmar to prevent the escape of RJ and his new lover, Ayo, at the Lagos airport. This sets up a dangerous showdown in Lagos, where Ms. Hech and Alexi use the Knight as bait for Cosy at Chief Habib’s estate.

The underdogs, Cosy and Chinedu, rescue the Knight, and with the help of reinforcements, Agent Newmar and Fatima, capture Alexi and Ms. Hech. The Chief escapes in a fortified Hummer, but not before Fatima adds a tracking device. With the government’s complicit support, Ms. Hech and Alexi will escape prosecution, riling Cosy and her gang. They take matters into their own hands to track down and kill Chief Habib, upending his human-trafficking empire. Cosy isn’t done yet! She gains a new mission in life!
