Synopsis "The Prodigal son"

Warren Wilcox, as a child, develops antipathy toward everything Nigerian when he learns about the rejection of his Canadian family by his Nigerian grandfather. As a physician, he works tirelessly in his pursuit of bettering the world. While volunteering in Sierra Leone, Warren visits Nigeria, an experience that only solidifies his feelings of alienation from his Nigerian heritage. He meets and falls in love with Kairi, a lawyer of mixed Japanese and Canadian descent, a women's rights activist who shares his goal of advocating for the disadvantaged. They settle in Vancouver and, in their own ways, continue to work for the rights of the less privileged, Warren as a deputy registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, overseeing its ethical and social responsibility program and Kairi as a human rights lawyer.When Kairi leaves Warren to live in Tokyo, it devastates him emotionally, professionally and occupationally. Then he meets Yinka, a lawyer of mixed ethnic heritage, who introduces him to the world of Nigerian immigrants in Canada. This exposure to other facets of Nigeria and Nigerians, especially their contributions to society, encourages him to explore further his Nigerian roots. This newfound perspective renews Warren's ambition and with Yinka's support and help from his long-term friend, Douglas, he embarks on a successful fight for the integration of foreign medical graduates into the healthcare system.
