Finished Man (2025) Plot Summary
Finished Man (2025) centers on James, a notorious player. He prides himself on charming women, providing “the best orgasms,” then disappearing.
James avoids commitment, viewing relationships as temporary conquests, often using hotels to facilitate easy exits. His friends humorously acknowledge his skill at attracting women but his failure to keep them.
His meticulously crafted world shatters upon meeting Vivian. Unlike any woman he’s encountered, Vivian quickly deduces his typical maneuvers, then vanishes without a trace, leaving James utterly captivated.
He becomes obsessively determined to find her, perceiving her as uniquely “different”. Despite his friends’ advice to move on, James cannot.
Driven by an unexpected depth of feeling, James proposes marriage to Vivian. She declines, stating they barely know each other, but proposes a unique challenge: a period of cohabitation with a strict “no sex” rule.
This trial would determine their compatibility. James eagerly agrees, hoping for a lasting commitment.
However, Vivian harbors a concealed agenda. Upon moving into James’s apartment, she initiates her plan to make his life miserable.
She deliberately creates mess and exhibits an entitled, unhelpful attitude, systematically frustrating him. Meanwhile, James’s existing marriage to Maria suffers, neglected as his focus shifts entirely to Vivian.
The narrative climaxes with Vivian’s elaborate financial scam. She manipulates James into loaning her 15 million naira, making him feel pressured and used.
His friends ultimately expose the truth: Vivian is a past victim of James’s player tactics. He had callously abandoned her at a hotel with a fake number. Her scheme was meticulously designed to make him “taste his own medicine”.
