Dr Chuks, an embodiment of academic success returns home to Nigeria. Born and bred in the strict moral codes of a successful ancient Igbo family, finds himself trying to save everyone. His siblings, his colleagues, superiors and subordinates. He is determined to force the professional clean-up of the state Agricultural Department he heads, thankfully with the support of a visionary governor in place at the time. However a new group of men have formed a loose union with the intention to control both the private sector and the public service and enrich themselves at the expense of good governance and pubic good. Dr Chuks becomes torn between the new world opening up to Africans who have lived and studied abroad in USA and Europe, ‘His family or his ideals.’ Political power play had never been fair, but the total loss of shame and all it takes to win mentality started small. Meanwhile Dove, Dr Chuks’ nephew is begining a new life as his uncles return to see the difficulties of Nigeria after an easy life abroad; Dove decides to look for a new homeland in the diaspora. There is love and honesty and truth and a strong principle in everyone’s life; the question is what will uphold or break our resolve to be ourselves? ‘When the shortest line affords us an easy way out.’
