Un homme doit accepter son sombre secret et choisir entre garder sa famille ou accepter une vie potentiellement faite de solitude et de rejet.

A Lagos, au Nigeria, Ebele Njoko a couru toute sa vie. Une recherche d'acceptation et d'amour de la part de sa famille l'a amené à se recréer en tant qu'Adrian Njoko, père, mari et frère respecté. Soudain, le passé et les secrets d'Adrian le rattrapent. Son monde commence bientôt à s'effondrer alors qu'il essaie frénétiquement de contrôler l'effet d'entraînement croissant d'une révélation.
