Private Project

12 Hours

Kevin, a seasoned photographer in bustling Lagos, wakes up in the dead of night to use the restroom. But when he returns to his bedroom, his reality shatters - his own body lies peacefully on the bed.

Desperate for answers, Kevin retraces the last 12 hours of his life, a journey that unravels betrayal, success, desperation, and brutality. Each piece of the puzzle pulls him deeper into an eerie, alternate reality where time, fate, and free will collide.

As Kevin delves deeper, he uncovers a shocking truth: he is standing on the cusp of life and death, caught in a liminal space where his fate has already been decided.
