Synopsis by Mark Deming

A man who has been emotionally scarred by the violence of war discovers fate won't leave him alone in this drama. Obi (Gideon Okeke) is a young man from Nigeria who is sent to Sierra Leone as part of a peacekeeping force. Despite the presence of Obi and his comrades, Freetown is a violent place with danger around every corner, though his fortunes take a turn for the better when he meets a woman named Blessing. Obi and Blessing fall in love and make plans to marry, but he's shattered when she's attacked and killed by a band of child soldiers. After returning home to Lagos, Obi wants to forget what he's seen and starts a business with his friend Ola. But one evening, while out taking a walk, Obi rescues Honey, a prostitute who has been thrown from a bridge by an angry customer. Will Honey help restore Obi's faith in love, or is he being set up for another tragic disappointment? Relentless was the first feature film from photographer-turned-director Andy Amadi Okoroafor.
