Bassey has never had to earn anything. When his father sends him to Bauchi to complete his NYSC, he arrives expecting to wait it out. What he finds is a girls' school, a gifted athlete whose community wants to stop her from running, and a woman who gave up everything to teach in a rural classroom. Up North is a warm Nigerian coming-of-age drama about a man who goes north to serve and finds something worth fighting for.
