Imani Mumbi Akinyi grew up in a household where her mother served and silence was survival. Matthew Walker, the British employer's frail son, lived on the other side of that silence - privileged, protected, yet deeply lonely. Their childhood connection broke every rule. Their separation seemed final. Now, in the 1990s, Matthew returns to Nairobi - no longer weak, no longer innocent. Imani has built her life on her own terms. Yet the past waits for them, in memories, in unfinished words, and in a child Matthew never knew existed. As old wounds resurface, they must confront the legacy of power, faith, and forgiveness - and decide what it means to belong in a world still learning to heal.
