Ibironke, a Nigerian-American woman whose life is stagnant, engages in self-destructive behaviors to cope. Her concerned sister calls her one day to propose a family trip to Nigeria for spiritual assistance. Ibironke is totally against this and continues to engage in her bad habits—including a casual relationship with an engaged prospective business partner who has a baby on the way. When their post-sex discussion accelerates into a fight, an ancestor who has dropped Easter eggs throughout her day appears in her mirror, terrifying her. She immediately knows this climactic sighting is a radical call for change.
