Bishop Jeremiah Dawodu, pastor of a Nigerian megachurch, has been arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Folasade, the 'First Lady' of the church. The arrest was public, humiliating and sensational - sending shockwaves through Lagos - but throughout it all, Bishop Dawodu maintains his innocence. Philip Taiwo, an acclaimed investigative psychologist, is asked by his sister, a member of the church's congregation, to clear the pastor’s name.

When three young students are brutally murdered in a Nigerian university town, their killings - and their killers - are caught on social media. The world knows who murdered them; what no one knows is why. As the legal trial begins, Investigative Psychologist Philip Taiwo is contacted by the father of one of the boys, desperate for some answers to his son's murder. But Philip is an expert in crowd behaviour and violence, not a detective, and after travelling to the sleepy university town that bore witness to the killings, he soon feels dramatically out of his depth.

In der nigerianischen Universitätsstadt Port Harcourt werden drei junge Studenten von einem Mob verfolgt und brutal umgebracht – ein Video der grausamen Morde kursiert in den sozialen Medien, und den Tätern wird der Prozess gemacht. Zu Prozessbeginn wird der Psychologe Dr. Philip Taiwo vom Vater eines der Opfer damit beauftragt, Licht in das Dunkel der schrecklichen Ereignisse zu bringen, die zum Tod seines Sohnes geführt haben. Taiwo, Spezialist für Massenpsychologie und Gewalt, hat lange im Ausland gelebt.

Quelques mois après la tragédie, le père d’une des victimes engage Philip Taiwo, criminologue fraîchement rentré des États-Unis, dans l’espoir de découvrir qui sont les vrais responsables de la mort de son fils.
