Who will be the next president of the Society of Journalists in Lagos? Who is qualified to lead the esteemed body of journalists and help uphold professional ethics in the state? Journalists in Lagos are preparing for their all-important elections when a sick man flies in from a neighbouring country. That man becomes Nigeria' s first Ebola Virus Disease case-the index patient. Ifiok and his colleagues must immediately tackle the spread of the virus by raising awareness, sharing information, and supporting the outreach efforts of health workers. Unfortunately, they also have to battle against hysteria, misinformation and denial. Meanwhile, Ifiok has managed to find himself caught between two loves. Who would he choose? Would he bow to family pressure, or would he follow his heart?
