Lagos is a city for all, where you share this space with flesh and not-flesh, and it's just as much their city as it is yours. Eko, the spirit of Lagos, and his loyal minion Tatafo weave trouble through the streets and lives of the 'vagabonds' powering modern Nigeria—the queer, the displaced, and the footloose. With Tatafo as our guide, we meet these people in the shadows, including a driver for a debauched politician, a lesbian couple whose tender relationship sheds unexpected light on their experience with underground sex work, and a mother who attends a secret spiritual gathering that shifts her reality. As their lives intertwine in markets, underground clubs, churches, and hotel rooms, the vagabonds are seized and challenged by the spirits who command the city. A force is drawing them all together, but for what purpose?
