Ishaya Bello (Mike Afolarin), is a talented but poor teenager struggling to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. Luck shines on him when he stumbles on the rare opportunity to win a scholarship to the elite Wilmer Academy, although he is only interested in using the scholarship grant to fund his trip to London where he has been offered an apprenticeship with established artist Essien (Deyemi Okanlawon). After his mother Patricia (Funke Akindele) spends his hard-earned savings on her ailing husband Ishaya Senior (Paul Adams) without their son's consent, thus putting paid to his ambition, Ishaya steals from the nightclub where he works as a waiter. To avoid being murdered by cartel boss Oga Rambo (Bolanle Ninalowo), he offers to peddle MDMA to the Wilmer students, although once again he is nearly killed for using Rambo's second-in-command Government's (Bucci Franklin) supply. While masquerading as a student, Ishaya's illicit manoeuvring leads to further chaos in Wilmer, at home, and within the cartel hierarchy. After his sister is kidnapped by Rambo's gang, they carry out a similar move with Ishaya's school friend, Frank (Emeka Nwagbaraocha), which leaves him traumatised. Rambo then attacks Wilmer Academy, which leads to more trouble for Ishaya and his family. Selected cast
