movie

Elfreda, a freshman in the University of Lagos, has just moved into a new flat and is happy to finally be free from her overprotective parents. Not long after she has moved in, her next door neighbor's excessive noises prevent her from studies and quiet moments. After several complaints, Elfreda is left with no choice but to confront her neighbor directly. Femi is by far the most unusual person Elfreda has ever met. But somehow, something about him strikes her and she decides she wants to know more. As they both get close and begin to get fond of each other, Femi follows the advice of his therapist and reveals his mental conditions to Elfreda. Against her parent's wish, Elfreda continues what everyone else would consider a dangerous relationship, to which The Johnsons respond by using Tobi, the ex-boyfriend, to get Elfreda back to her senses. Femi's thoughts and dreams are constantly haunted, so much that loud music and writing are the only ways for him to drown the sounds of the torments. But the best remedy of all, is the presence of Elfreda that brings him some calm and peace. While this newfound relationship grows, it begins to put a strain to the supposed progress that Dr. Julia, the therapist, thinks they had been making, as Femi would no longer take medications, nor will he listen to her counseling. Even when Femi, finds the courage to tell Elfreda his compromising secret, an enchanted Elfreda still forgives and chooses to stay. While seeking to understand the nature if Femi's illness, Elfreda stumbles on a lead... Her lecturer at the university is involved in illegal research in which humans are used as lab rats and Femi just happens to be a victim, unknown to him. Until an unfortunate situation and the mysterious voices in Femi's head convince him to take his girlfriend's life. After uncovering his therapist's plot, Femi decides to get back at her for using him to make herself extra cash in illegal research projects.
