When Kwabena bumps into an old friend from film school who is now working at a production company, he gets the chance that he has been waiting for. Unfortunately, she fixes him a once-in-a-lifetime pitching opportunity that clashes with a career-saving presentation - forcing him to choose between going all in or giving up his dream entirely.
