The film, starring actors such as Zack Orji, Ibinabo Fiberesima, Keppy Bassey-Inyang, Joseph Benjamin, Toyin Alausa, Benita Nzeribe, Frank Dallas, among others, tells the story of Tejiri who in his honest quest for improvement in his life and the desire to settle into matrimony with his heartthrob uncovers a massive conspiracy on board an oil vessel, St. Mary on voyage bound for Amsterdam.

‘St. Mary’, a 110-minute film, centres on the negative implication of s3x and human trafficking. Speaking on the flick, Bassey Inyang said, ‘It is always a delight to be able to contribute to a cause and such is the issue of human trafficking. The St. Mary is an advocacy flick that I’m glad to be associated with and I can tell you that with projects like this, we can sensitize more people than you can imagine.’

On his part, CEO of JBIS Integrated Resources Limited, Darlington Agha said, ‘Human trafficking is a worldwide phenomenon so it is not out of place to embark on a world tour with the movie so that people can learn from the narrative. So we will take it round and then hold a grand premiere in Nigeria where the movie was shot.’

The movie tells the story of Nonye, who is lured by a Facebook confidant and friend into a cabal’s dragnet. She is taken away from the safety and comfort of her family and left in a terrifying adventure amidst her pleas for survival.
