Savage has long eyed an acting career, landing cameos in big projects including on MTV Shuga Naija. However, this is her first time playing a lead role.

“As she reconnects with family, old friends, and her past love, she must learn to live with her scars and confront the guilt she left behind,” the synopsis of the movie says.

A spinoff from her 2021 EP of the same title, Savage joins Vannessa Amadi-Ogbonna, Jimi Adesanya, and Alabi as executive producers on the film.

“Developing and shooting my film from an idea to launching globally on Prime Video is a dream fulfilled,” said Savage. “I am excited for my fans and newer audiences to experience this vulnerable side of me that I have never shown. Meji Alabi brought the story to life in such a beautiful way, and I cannot wait to share it with the world.”

Shot primarily in Cape Coast, Ghana, Savage stars alongside Mike Afolarin (Far From Home), Andrew Bunting (Dynamite), and Jemima Osunde (New Money).
