Adesuwa, Nene, Victoria and Grace are group of girls at university live in a house together and fund their studies by doing “runs.” For all those that don’t know Runs is, it is basically prostitution. These girls are patronised by Aristos. In the Nigerian context Aristo refers to rich middle aged to old men who patronise female students. All the girls are involved in runs apart from Grace.

Grace was advised by her aunt before she came to university about the joys and the lows of sex,

“Sex can be sweet, very very sweet but it can also destroy you.”

It is advice that she tries to pass onto the other girls but they pay her no mind. As we see Grace try and talk each girl out of their lifestyle choice we also get a glimpse into the character of each girl and why she makes the choices she does.

We hear that Nene has been raped and by doing runs she feels that she is taking control over her sexuality where once she had no control. Oby’s long term boyfriend cheated on her with a close friend, and she has lost trust in men, seeing them only good for using for money, and for Adesuwa runs is simply a means to support her flossy lifestyle.
