“Thin Line” centers on Pastor Raymond, a respected clergyman whose outward life of faith, ministry, and marital stability hides secrets. IMDb+4Businessday NG+4Nollywood Reporter+4

He becomes entangled in a dangerous affair with Annie (played by Uche Montana), a prostitute/escort who blackmails him and exploits the situation for her own benefit. Filmefiko+4Premium Times Nigeria+4Nollywood Reporter+4

When Annie is found dead, the investigation places suspicion on Raymond. A scandalous sex tape and his secret involvement magnify the stakes. Nollywood Reporter+4Netflix+4Premium Times Nigeria+4

However, the narrative takes a twist: it is eventually revealed (in reviews / criticism) that Damilola (Raymond’s wife, played by Mercy Aigbe) was driven by jealousy and betrayal, discovering Annie was pregnant with Raymond’s child, and commits the murder. Nollywood Reporter+2Businessday NG+2

Thus, the film traverses themes of faith, infidelity, guilt, redemption, betrayal, and the “thin line” between righteousness and sin. Filmefiko+3Businessday NG+3Premium Times Nigeria+3
