Jennifer Douglas is an attractive young tenacious fashion entrepreneur who is highly suspicious and mostly sceptical about true love and believes love is only able to go so far. For her, love can only go as far as before the wedding; and so to get the best of love one must stay on the fringes of a marriage proposal.

Her philosophy is: Give him enough to make him want to propose and hold back enough to keep him from proposing – just! But when her ‘enough’ is not enough to keep her on-off long term partner, Eli Gold, from proposing to her, she is thrown into a most unfamiliar territory. She cannot give an answer, but she must.

I.T. Consultant, Eli Gold, is indeed too good to be true – kind, patient, gentle, faithful –The perfect fit for Jennifer’s stereotype – perfect before the wedding, horrible after. As much as her heart wants to, she cannot say ‘yes’ to him – not with the scar of her parent’s abruptly truncated marriage entrenched in her heart; But she cannot say ‘no’ either for fear of losing him.

Just about harassed into submission by her talkative friend, Claire Monoghan, and tempted by the seeming marital bliss of her newlywed friend, Zoe Scott-Jones, Jennifer decides to give Eli a chance, but not before testing his love for her.

She tries every trick she can find to test Eli – from ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days’ movie to internet blogs, magazines – the full works! Eli passes them all. Just as she is about to give in, she stumbles into rough-edged, but handsomely-built-six-packed persistent Gordon Wilson, a gym instructor that has been trying to get her attention to no avail. He is the perfect final test for Eli!

Her final test backfires when she starts falling for Gordon’s strong advances and is soon drawn back to a rather disturbing past she had hidden from everyone else and thought she had left behind when she became a Christian but now threatens any future with Eli.

Failed stock investor, EVIANO ESIRI (Justus Esiri), hires an Assassin (Eve Pearson), to take his life and make it look like a botched robbery so his family would live off his life insurance. As part of his elaborate plan, he organises an impromptu holiday for his wife, SANDRA (Kate Henshaw) and daughter, TRACY (Sarah Akokhia), to protect them from witnessing the assassination. With no love lost between Sandra and Tracy, neither wants the holiday! He insists.

On the day, the birth-abandoned daughter of his wife, EFUA (Daphne Akatugba), shows up to request money they no longer have. His frustration turns into frenzy as he watches the clock tick towards the coming of the Assassin. Agreeing to give whatever cash they have left just to get his family out of the house would have been at the nick of time; Only two opportunist ROBBERS (David Nnaji and Uche Monye) turn up and would not leave or let anyone leave without getting the money they expect to find.

The Robbers' hope very quickly degenerates into confused agitation as it becomes clear that Eviano has a death wish they would rather not satisfy. They must leave with nothing; or kill his family - if only to satisfy their brewing anger! Their reign of terror is however brought to an abrupt end with the entrance of the Assassin, JACQUELINE.

Jacqueline is a psychotic university-drop-out-assassin, whose desire of becoming a psychotherapist can only be fulfilled on her victims. One hour is all her session would last. Within the hour she would take everyone through a gruelling question and answer session; at the end of which everyone must die. She sets the timer. An ominous silence pervades the air. As the hour ticks away slowly, Eviano knows he must do everything to protect his family before the hour is up.

An angry James Harper stands at the foot of his stairs glaring at his wife, Dove, subdued, but resolute. She is giving him the divorce he initially asked for. Only this time he doesn't want it anymore. She insists.

Frustration drives him into the arms of old flame, pretty and sensual Jez Parker. A rekindled affair releases a flood of memory best forgotten. And now, neither James nor Dove can reverse the tide of lust, betrayal, revenge and murder.

Lust Control tells the story of a couple who didn’t value what they had until they’d lost it!
