The story is set around a married, illegal immigrant couple Joyce (Omoni Oboli) and Paul Unanga (Sam Sarpong) who has been ordered by the U.S. immigration to leave the country. They decided that they will leave, but only after Joyce, who is five-month pregnant, delivers her baby in the U.S. This will guarantee automatic U.S. citizenship for their child. Ignoring the deportation order the couple goes into hiding.
