Surrounded by the vibrant chaos of Lagos, Akpana has always longed to escape her turbulent life within her fractured family. With a disgraced father caught embezzling at work, a relentless mother, and a household on the verge of collapse, a job opportunity in England seems like her chance to break free and forge her own destiny, but freedom comes at a cost.
In England, Akpana becomes her family's reluctant lifeline, sending every hard-earned pound back home to keep them afloat. As her parents' fractured marriage unravels-her father taking a second wife in search of the son he never had-the weight of family ties threatens to crush her.
Fighting to keep her own dreams alive, Akpana is caught in a web of black tax--manipulation, lies and unrealistic expectations that stretch across continents. When a devastating betrayal strikes from within, she is forced to face a painful truth: sometimes, blood is the last thing that binds us.
