THE ISLAND
THE ISLAND- The synopsis
Enclosed in the cube queue of a military intelligence unit, Hamza, a
colonel in the army intercepts a conversation between an unknown
terrorist and an agent transacting a business deal on weapons sale.
Triggered by an overwhelming excitement and eagerness to get the intel
to his commanding officer, Hamza makes the most shocking and
terrifying discovery of his life. His Boss, Major UduackI. Ibok so
happens to be the agent on the other end of the line and his lips sink
quite well into the on-going conversation as it filters in Hamza's ears. Hamza decided to record and save the intel in a flash drive which he
must not com-promise. Troubled by the weight of the intel, Hamza
shares his trouble with his wife and informs her of his intention to take
the flash drive to the army headquarters first thing in the morning.
