Amukelani Ngobeni's dream of becoming a doctor ends abruptly when she falls pregnant during her matric year and is forced to drop out. Disowned by her family and betrayed by the man she had placed all her hope in, Amu looks forward to a fresh start with her son in the city of gold. However, her life is shattered by her son's untimely death. Amu embarks on a journey of self-rediscovery when she finally moves to Jo'burg to pursue her studies. There, she finds love and friendship where she least expects. Everything is perfect for a while, but she soon learns the hard way that life is not always black and white. And that you should never expect someone else to fill your cup to the brim when you are also pouring from an empty cup. Will Amu rise above the dark waters and face her unresolved past, or will she succumb to her grief and risk ruining her life all over again? Will she live to prove that life after death doesn't only apply to the dead, but the ones left behind as well?

Still healing from a relationship that nearly broke her, she finds herself unexpectedly pursued by Qophelo Dlomo - a forward, confident Zulu man with marriage on his mind from the very first encounter. When Qophelo proposes marriage, foregoing courtship and even dating, will Naye allow the walls she's built to protect herself be wrecked or will fear of the unknown conquer?

Nyezi Bhengu has built her career and life around being a wife. For years, her identity was tethered to her husband - as the "Real Housewife of Durban", "umfazi kaBafo", and "uNyezi kaSmiso". His sudden death upends Nyezi's life when, bound by isiko lokungenwa, she is forced to marry his older brother, Mnisi. Mnisiwokuhle Bhengu has a personality very few would describe as "lighting up a room". Reserved, and perpetually serious to the point of appearing cold, where Smiso was the life of the party, Mnisi is the brooding figure who leaves just as the fun begins. He wears detachment like armour, keeping himself unapproachable and at a distance from everyone - especially Nyezi. Forced into a union they're both less than glad to find themselves in, will forced proximity be enough to break down the walls Mnisi has so carefully constructed, or will tradition condemn them into a loveless arrangement they cannot escape?
