The movie, jointly directed by Femi Adebayo, Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo, tells the story of King Adedunjoye, a reluctant king whose reign is haunted by a generational curse.

For him to break the curse, he must marry six more wives, thus opening ‘seven doors’, despite his deep love for his wife, Amaka.
