First Look
Synopsis
Tishe’s dad owns one of Nigeria’s biggest real estate firms while Nnamdi’s father is a major land speculator. If both businesses merge, theirs will be a major conglomerate.
To ensure the future of their company and cement their long-time friendship, both men resolve to force their eligible children into an arranged union. But the couple have other plans. Nnamdi aspires to be a film producer and wants nothing to do with his dad’s business and the planned wedding. Scared of losing his inheritance if he opposes the wedding, he comes up with a plan to be kidnapped on the wedding day! He will be ransomed and with that money, start life afresh somewhere far away.
Unknown to Nnamdi, Tishe also has a similar plan in protest against the forced union. She will be kidnapped but this time she plans to put the blame on Nnamdi, his dubious friends and his career choices. In Tishe’s mind, this will show Nnamdi is not husband material. With that, her plan to take over her father’s company will be back on course.
Each party enlists their friends to pull off their plans but things go horribly wrong from the start.
Tishe’s friends kidnap the couple on their way to the wedding. Nnamdi’s friends panic as they watch their guy being kidnapped! As Plan A fails, they go for Plan B and kidnap Tishe and her friends but to the shock of both parties, PLAN C unravels as real kidnappers led by the notorious Ossai end up kidnapping everyone!
While all this is going on, the couple’s families have called in the police who launch a search for the bride and groom. Tishe and Nnamdi realize they’re in trouble since the kidnappers are not known to them or their friends. Now it’s up to the couple’s friends and naughty sister to join forces and hack a near-impossible escape.
