Nigerian-British actor Toheeb Jimoh is starring in Prime Video’s series, “The Power,” based on Naomi Alderman‘s critically acclaimed 2016 novel. And, according to an official synopsis from the streamer, it has “a cast of remarkable characters from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe, as the Power grows from a tingle in teenagers’ collarbones to a complete reversal of the world’s power balance.”

The series tells the story of how all the teenage girls in the world get the power to electrocute people at will. It is inherited, built into them, and cannot be taken away. They quickly learn that they can bring out the power in older women. When they feel the thrill of pure power, like being able to hurt or even kill someone by sending electrical shocks from their fingertips, they come alive. The story then moves to Nigeria, where a reporter named Tunde Ojo (by Toheeb Jimoh) is writing about a teenage girl who can shoot electricity from her hands.
