What is Lady about?

A fiercely independent cab driver navigating Lagos traffic and mounting debts dreams of a quieter life on the coast in Freetown. When she starts chauffeuring a glamorous circle of women built around her childhood friend, now a sex worker, an unlikely sisterhood pulls her deeper into a nightlife world she'd sworn to stay outside of.
