finally gets his redeployment letter back to Lagos, and he convinces Idara to tag along, and go against the customs. Her father is strongly against the decision, while her mother only want what's best for her daughter. Idara eventually decides to follow IK to Lagos; the village priestess, along with her crew tries to hypnotize her at the car park, but IK carries Idara into the vehicle and they zoom off. Giselle notices a difference in IK's behaviour and she soon realizes IK and Idara's unusual closeness at a dance rehearsal. IK asks that Idara become the new lead, but Giselle blatantly refuses. Giselle later catches Idara and IK kissing. A plague breaks out in Ikot-Uyai and people start dropping dead. It is believed that the gods are angry, and Idara now has to go back and obey the custom of the land for the people to be saved. Idara goes back to the village, but still can't pull through with the rituals and returns to Calabar to join the other dance crew at a major competition. The village priest prophesies that Idara would die before 4pm of the day due to her disobedience. The prophecy however doesn't come to pass and Idara's crew wins the dance competition. It is revealed at the epilogue of the film that the deaths of the villagers was caused by the poisoned fertilizers given to the villagers by a senatorial candidate, and not due to Idara's disobedience.

The producer had always wanted to make films centred on dance, which was her specialization in school, but had not found the right script. She states: "This project is one that is dear to my heart". The Canadian dancer Ashleigh Clark was flown in from the United States solely for the purpose of this film. Most of the film was shot on location in Akwa Ibom. According to Isong, the cast and crew received considerable love and support from the community while shooting the film. Other
