Amara, a final-year student at an elite boarding school in Offa, Kwara State, desperately needs to improve her French grade to secure her conditional admission to Harvard. After her French teacher, Ms. Kanyin, refuses to help her cheat by revealing WAEC exam questions, Amara and her friends—Uti, Lami, Fiona, Finditae, and Chisom—plan a break‑in to steal the papers while Ms. Kanyin is away. Their plan fails; in the ensuing chaos, Ms. Kanyin is chased by a dog into a forbidden forest, falls, and dies on a mystical Tree of Life. Her blood awakens an ancient curse, and she returns as a vengeful ghost—Madame Koi‑Koi—haunting and killing the students one by one.
Haunted by guilt, Amara, Chisom, and Teacher Mustafa seek help from a local elder. They ultimately confront the spirit and burn the cursed tree, breaking the curse. The film ends with Amara taking her French exam honestly, having learned a powerful lesson.[3][5][6]
