After a London street fight, in which a local boy is hurt, Tijan's mother decides to take him back to their roots, to Gambia.

2 Rats is a 2003 Nigerian comedy film directed by Andy Chukwu. Nollywood's highest-paid actors, Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikedieze, play two young boys whose father has been murdered by their uncle. In a selfish move, Amaechi Muonagor wants them to work as house boys in their father's own house.
Dada, a mischievously sadistic six-year old, constantly bothers his neighbors with stealing and pranks. Dada's mother is at her wits end when her brother visiting from Lagos offers to take Dada to the big city to teach him some discipline. Once there, his uncle begs him to behave. And, of course, he doesn't: pretending to be a prophet, Dada scams a woman out of a television and demands that another take off her clothes in order to perform an exorcism. After being reprimanded by the police, Dada attempts to avoid work by stealing his uncle's money and giving it to some "businessmen" on the street. When he returns to collect his profit, he finds out that he has been tricked. He then decides to pursue riches by forming the "Baby Police Force of Nigeria" (which is actually comprised entirely of adults except for Dada), and earns money by taking money from "criminals" (who are actually just everyday people).
Malachi turns up to his brother’s house from the village with his two sons in tow. He is not able to financially take care of them and wants his brother and his wife to put them through school. Will it be a successful mission? Are the children ready and willing to be better people in life?
