The Synopsis
The English legendary literary giant, William Shakespeare once wrote that; “Some are born great, some acquire greatness and others had greatness thrust upon them.”
For Ken Fiberisima, he probably has all the above simultaneously. Born into a wealthy family, and was later to become filthy rich earlier in his mid-twenties and wielded so much power in the society and amongst his peers.
The affable and dynamic young man, towering six foot tall with handsome features of an athlete and a glistering dark complexion that always sent shivers down the spines of many ladies that come across him. And having acquired so much wealth, the thirty-two year old multimedia artist/advertising practitioner lives flamboyantly and spends recklessly on frivolities.
A kind hearted young man whose wealth abuses his mind and he throws caution to the wind thus taking life less seriously. Always drinking himself to stupor and smoking as if his life depended on it.
Not for once, did he believe in the awesome power of God and vehemently refused to have fellowship with Him despite mounting pressures from his lovely fiancée, Ngozi to acknowledge the creator a place in his life.

Now his business, eventually collapses and being ravaged by terminal illness that medical science has become absolutely useless in his case and only a miracle from God can save him but would the same God that he denied when life was rosy for him save him with his unfathomable mercy or allow him to pay the ultimate price for his sins? After all, the Bible says that “The wages of sin is death”

Hello, my beautiful damsel! You look splendid this morning.

Thank you prince charming. Hope that designing you’re doing is actually for us?

You guys indeed like quality work but never interested in making encouraging payments.

We do Ken, just that you’re being a lot greedier.
KEN
That’s not true!
NGOZI
For God’s sake, put off that cigarette.
KEN
Sorry for inconveniencing you with it.
NGOZI
Sorry for yourself Ken! I pity you because you’re only damaging your respiratory system with that nonsense.
