Chuks wants to run a bar. He wants to make money and send it to his family.
But Chuks used to be a fixer, a go-between for foreign journalists and local groups.
When militants attack a new oil pipeline, British journalists and international spin doctors rush to the scene: everyone wants the inside story. As more players get involved, the stakes get higher. They’ll make it worth his while, but if Chuks joins the game, will he ever be able to leave?
What am I supposed to do? When everything is stinking like shit, you think only me I will smell like perfume?
Set in northern Nigeria against a backdrop of global turmoil and corruption, Fixer is a fast-paced drama that asks questions about integrity, loyalty and the price of human life.
