The movie which is produced Yinka Adewale, and directed by Dotun Taylor, reflects everyday encounter of child abuse, homosexual, kidnapping and diseases.

The movie resolves around Eva Ketiku who was kidnapped at the age of six and she eventually regained freedom from her abductors after three years in the black house of torture, pain, rape etc. At twenty five, she was in a psychiatric hospital as a schizophrenia patient. The psychologist, Dr Lorine Ovie, knew Eva’s case was caused by her father and she had every reason to suspect her father.

Speaking about the yet-to-be shot movie, the director, Dotun Taylor, said he wants people to see the world from the standpoint of an abused child. “ I want people to see the world from the mind of an abused person. We are going to do what nobody has ever done before in the Nigerian movie industry as we are planning to shoot the movie in a psychiatric hospital. We are expecting much creativity in this movie, different peiople from different areas who are going to play the mind of sick people. We need people to know that domestic violence and child abuse is real and it happens almost on daily basis”

“We are advising that mothers should pay attention to their kids and kids also should learn how to say their mind. The government also has a role to play in this case. Thye should try as much as possible to give the kids an opportunity to speak out. The victim and the abuser need to be counselled because you find out that at the end of the day, if care is not taken, the victim grows up to be an abuser,” he said

Other acts that are featuring in the blockbuster include, singer turned actress, Shaffy Bello, Niyi Johnson, Micheal Bassey, Yemi Sholade, Yinka Adewale, Titilope Oludipe(script writer) among others.
