ONLINE RUMOURS. REAL LIFE TROUBLE.

Ola Olajide, a high-profile journalist at Womxxxn magazine, is marrying the love of her life in one month’s time. She and her fiance Michael seem to have it all.

That is, until one morning when they both wake up to the same message:

‘Oh my god, have you seen The List?’

It began as a list of anonymous allegations about abusive men. Now it’s been published online. Ola made her name breaking exactly this type of story. But today, Michael’s name is on there.

Will the truth behind The List change everything for both of them?
