“FEBRUARY”

 

 

FADE IN:

 

 

EXT. LEKKI-EPE EXPRESSWAY - NIGHT

 

An expensive grey SUV is roughly parked inches away from a white commercial two-storey building. The vehicle is COMPLETELY wrecked -- with a shattered windscreen, broken headlights, minor dents and scratches to the doors, deflated tyres, and a bonnet RIPPED open, revealing a running engine oozing out thick black fumes. The air-bags are blown open.

A Couple, whose faces aren’t revealed to the Screen, lay MOTIONLESS in the car, covered in their own blood.
