Seun Ajimobi is a twelve-year-old Nigerian boy lost in Libya who longs to be reunited with his mother back home. Having undertaken an ultimately dangerous and unsuccessful trip through the illegal route to Europe with an uncle, he finds himself now teamed up with other ‘street’ boys, including the charismatic Hakeem, in order to escape the harsh and hostile climate of post-civil war Libya.
Seun’s big chance at escape soon becomes a high-stakes situation that he has to find a way out of or risk never returning home, or worse, losing his life.
