RENDER TO CAESAR

Two friends join the Bureau of Detectives under an ambitious government scheme to develop future leaders of the much-maligned Police Force through recruitment of the best and the brightest at high entry ranks. Detectives Dipo Daniels & Pade Fashinro are immediately placed under pressure to hunt and apprehend a psychotic crime lord who continues to wage a harsh campaign of ruthless attacks across the State. Cynically chronicling the investigation's lack of progress through constant and derogatory news stories and editorials is the acclaimed but prejudiced newspaper entrepreneur, Alero Benson, whose campaign of calumny adds further pressure to the new detectives. And just when the Police believe they’ve finally boxed Caesar into a corner, he responds with a joker that not only turns the game on its head, but threatens to alter the lives of its key players forever.
