They include Toyin Abraham, Deyemi Okanlawon, Aderonke Moyinlorun, Akin Lewis, Bimbo Akintola, and Dayo Amusa.
Set in Lagos and the United States of America, The Stranger I Know tells the story of an up-and-coming actress who lands her first leading role in a big-budget Nollywood movie.
She moves to Lagos and falls in love with her landlord, a boy she just met. They have so much in common in strange and terrifying ways, which begs the question: Is this just a mere coincidence, or is there more than meets the eye?
