Synopsis

Hustle tells the tale of Dayo (played by Seun Ajayi), a gullible but optimistic young man who moves to Lagos with dreams of making it big. Dayo quickly learns that it is never as it seems as he comes to terms with hilariously catastrophic neighbors, an antagonistic landlady, and a shady yet loyal roommate. All these characters nonetheless share an unwavering hope for tomorrow, and they are buoyed by the "Lagos spirit", the spirit of the hustle.^[3]
