Lagos, 1960. Nigeria stands on the cusp of independence, but beneath the surface of celebration, shadows move.
Officer Ropo Dada, once a decorated policeman, is now a broken man haunted by a tragic mistake-one that cost a child's life and shattered his marriage. Drowning in guilt and alcohol at a dingy bar run by Joy, the only person who hasn't given up on him, Ropo has no intention of playing hero again.
But when a dying informant whispers of a plot to assassinate the visiting British royal during Nigeria's independence ceremony, Ropo is thrust into a deadly race against time. As he unravels a conspiracy that snakes through the city's elite, criminal underworld, and corrupt power brokers, Ropo must confront old enemies, buried secrets, and the very system that betrayed him.
With the clock ticking toward October 1st, he must decide: will he reclaim the man he once was-or die trying to stop a crime that could destroy the very birth of a nation?
In Dependence is a gripping political thriller about sacrifice, redemption, and the fragile dream of freedom.
