Time Bound

The film opens with a candlelit ritual where a young girl named Dumebi receives ancestral power from her mother, learning she descends from women tasked with helping wandering spirits cross over. The narrative shifts to present-day Lagos where Tobi Adediwura arrives home late on his wife Miriam's birthday bearing flowers, only to find her calling police to report him missing. Tobi wanders the streets until he encounters Dumebi, now a young woman, who is the only person who can see and touch him. She reveals he died in a carjacking days earlier and his spirit is trapped between worlds, marked by a glowing sigil on his hand. Dumebi transfers energy to him at the accident site, urging him to find what his spirit seeks so he can return to his body. Tobi reappears at home and reconciles with Miriam in a tender reunion, but supernatural disturbances persist. Miriam periodically cannot see or hear him, his legs freeze inexplicably, and Dumebi shadows him, explaining spiritual protections placed by a babalawo. Meanwhile Tobi's best friend Steven visits, loans him a car, and secretly records Tobi's private confession about Miriam's suspicious texts. The tension escalates when Miriam discovers she is pregnant, and a hospital calls to inform a friend that Tobi has been in a coma for days after the accident. Steven's duplicity surfaces: he orchestrated the carjacking, has been having an affair with Miriam, and is the father of her child. The climax erupts when Steven lures Tobi's comatose body from the hospital and attempts to bury him alive in a remote field, kidnapping Miriam and her daughter Valerie as leverage. Dumebi intervenes, using her power to free Tobi's spirit just as Steven raises a shovel to kill him. Police arrive following Tobi's earlier distress call, arresting Steven and rescuing the women. In the aftermath, Tobi and Miriam engage in a violent confrontation where accusations of infidelity and betrayal explode.
