The story opens with a police interrogation. A man named Tega is being questioned about the murder of his girlfriend, Midre. He claims a baby's cry lured him to open the door, and then the baby killed her. The detective dismisses this, suggesting the murderer used the cry to trick him. Tega then recalls a mentally unstable man who confronted Midre on the night she was murdered. A flashback shows this man, begging Midre for money to feed his baby. Midre refuses, accusing him of spending money on weed. The man insists his baby is very hungry and even asks Midre to breastfeed her. Midre's partner, Tega, intervenes, giving the man money and warning him not to touch Midre again. The man leaves, thanking Tega and promising not to bother them again, but also hinting he will return for Midre. Back in the present, a homicide detective arrives at Tega's house, informing him of Midre's murder and asking him to come to the station for interrogation. Tega initially denies knowing Midre, but then remembers she was his girlfriend. At the station, the detective questions Tega about Midre's death, accusing him of killing her because she refused to give him money. Tega vehemently denies this, clutching his baby. The scene shifts to a woman, Gladys, waking up late. Her two daughters, Kate and Sophia, tell her she was "dead" and had blood on her nightgown. Gladys dismisses this as imagination and rushes to get ready for school. She expresses her frustration with her workload and her inability to find a nanny since "Auntie Ch" left. Kate suggests inviting her friend, Amanda, to stay with them while Gladys is at work. Gladys agrees, mentioning she has applied to an NGO for a nanny. Later, Amanda and Sophia are at Gladys's house. Amanda, an orphan whose education is supported by her guardian, is introduced to Gladys. Gladys promises to support Amanda. Kate praises Amanda for helping her with a math test, which Gladys gently discourages, asking them to study before tests instead. Gladys welcomes both Amanda and Sophia to stay, eat, and play at their house. During a conversation about an upcoming break, Amanda mentions she will be accompanying her guardian to Calabar for sightseeing. Kate expresses a desire to go, but Gladys says Kate needs to take math lessons due to her poor performance. Amanda, in a gesture of friendship, offers to stay and attend lessons with Kate, delighting Gladys. One evening, Gladys is alone at home when she hears a baby's cry. She calls a detective, Lambert, who warns her not to open the door. The crying intensifies, and Gladys screams. The police arrive to find Gladys murdered. The detective at the scene concludes it's a serial killer, noting all victims are women and young girls, lured by a baby's cry. He speculates it could be a man seeking revenge against women. He orders a background check on the victims' past relationships. The killer strikes again. This time, the police have a clue. They visit a health center where the first male victim, Dr. Godwin, was murdered. They find a register in his drawer. All the female victims, including Midre, had visited the center for abortions. Tega is again interrogated, and he confesses that Midre had an abortion. A flashback reveals Midre's pregnancy. Her father, furious, disowns her. Tega proposes marriage to Midre's father, who is initially hospitable but then becomes enraged, beating Tega and Midre. Midre's father refuses the marriage. Tega then takes Midre to his own house, promising his mother will be understanding. Tega's mother, however, is not pleased. She questions Tega's sudden decision to marry Midre and expresses concern about Midre's background. Tega asks his mother to observe Midre for a while. Later, Tega's mother insults Midre, calling her a "slut." Tega defends Midre, revealing she is pregnant with his child. His mother is furious, accusing Midre of trapping Tega with the pregnancy. She reminds Tega that she gave birth to him before his father married her, implying a similar situation. Midre expresses her fear of Tega's mother, who has been threatening and abusing her. Tega reassures her, promising his mother cannot hurt her. Midre, feeling rejected by both her father and Tega's mother, considers leaving. Tega's mother insists Midre leave, further insulting her. Tega threatens to leave with Midre, enraging his mother. The detective questions Tega about Midre's friend, Amanda, who also died before Midre. Tega says no one knew what killed Amanda, but now he suspects it's connected to the abortions. The scene shifts back to Gladys's house. Kate and Sophia are watching cartoons when they hear the baby's cry. Gladys is alarmed. Another flashback shows a conversation between Gladys and a friend. Gladys recounts her parents abandoning her due to her unwanted pregnancy and Tega's mother's abuse. She expresses a desire to end her life. Her friend, who also had an abortion, advises Gladys to terminate her pregnancy to regain her life. Gladys, a Christian, is horrified by the suggestion, but her friend insists it's the only way to avoid societal shame and a difficult life. She points out Gladys's disheveled appearance as a consequence of her current situation. Tega's mother then approaches Gladys's friend, asking her to convince Midre to have an abortion, promising to convince Tega to marry the friend instead. The friend agrees. Back in the interrogation, Tega reveals he was never in favor of the abortion. His mother took Midre to Dr. Godwin's clinic without his knowledge. Midre later told him about a spirit shedding tears of blood in front of the clinic, warning her to go home. Tega believes this spirit caused his mother's death as well. A flashback shows Midre in the clinic, being forced to have the abortion. She apologizes to Tega for agreeing to it, explaining she wanted peace. She decides to leave Tega's house, feeling rejected by both their families. Tega's mother intervenes, insulting Midre and Tega. Tega again threatens to leave with Midre. The detective connects the dots: someone is killing everyone who committed an abortion at Dr. Godwin's clinic. He asks Tega about Amanda, confirming she died before Midre, with an unknown cause. Gladys's daughters, Kate and Sophia, are found in the visitor's room. They reveal they set a baby's cry as their alarm to wake up early and read. Gladys confiscates the phone. A flashback shows Detective Lambert's past. He drugged and raped a woman, who became pregnant. He pressured her to have an abortion, promising to protect her. She terminated the pregnancy but was later murdered. Lambert, to protect his job, covered up the murder. He now believes a "spirit of vengeance" is hunting offenders who "walk this lion." The police investigate another murder, where a woman named Mrs. Felicia Able was killed after a baby's cry and smashing glass were heard. A neighbor, who was too scared to intervene, is taken in for questioning. The neighbor, who is the mentally unstable man from the beginning, is interrogated. He denies killing Mrs. Able, claiming he was a nurse at Dr. Godwin's clinic and advised against abortions. He then reveals that the "woman" who performed the abortions was also a nurse like him, and he knows where she works. He is convinced she is in danger. Gladys's daughter, Kate, observes a pastor performing an exorcism in their compound. Gladys explains it's to fortify the house against strange spirits. She asks Kate not to tell her friend or father about it. Gladys then decides to take Kate to her sister's house in a maternal village for the weekend, claiming the house is being fumigated. Amanda and Sophia are dropped off along the way. At her sister's house, Gladys confesses she visited a spiritualist for solutions. Her sister reassures her that God is in control and advises her to read Psalms 72, 89, and 102. Kate expresses her dislike for the village and wants to return to the city. Gladys's sister gives Kate a blessed gift to wear and promises to teach her how to pray the rosary. Gladys expresses her fear of returning to the city due to the baby's cry. Her sister encourages her to trust in God and promises to visit. Back in the city, Gladys's sister is arrested for Gladys's murder. She claims there is no serial killer, but a "soul is out to revenge." She asserts that only God can stop this soul. The police torture her, demanding to know where the baby is. She denies being the killer and insists she couldn't have killed her own sister. She is eventually released, and, fearing she is next, begs the police to take her with them. She asks about her niece, Kate, who is safe in the office. The story ends with the ominous musical refrain "What a life of an innocent woman."
