Sometime in the near future, Kainji Dam, the engineering marvel that is the pride of Nigeria, collapses, killing thousands of villagers. The Minister of Natural Resources can hardly believe his luck - now he can make a bid for the presidency. On the other side of the world, the grimly ambitious executive of a water company also sniffs an opportunity but her activist sister joins forces with a charismatic Nigerian activist whose family were swept away in the disaster. The result is a wickedly satirical romp along a road to Hell paved with good and bad intentions.
