Plot
[edit]Office secretary Ngozi moonlights as a prostitute at night under the alias Domitilla (Anne Njemanze), alongside her friends Jenny (Kate Henshaw), Anita (Ada Ameh), and Judith (Sandra Achums). Her earnings barely cover both her living expenses and her invalid father's (Emmanuel France) medical bills. After her love interest, John (Charles Okafor), calls time on their budding relationship upon discovering her double life, Domitilla attends a high-society gathering with her friends where she meets wealthy politician Lawson (Enebeli Elebuwa).
But her new found soap box quickly bursts, and her world turns on its head when the politician is found dead in his hotel room after a night of frolicking with her. All evidence points in Domitilla's direction.
