She has lived in Johannesburg, South Africa her whole life, but only discovered the cruelty of the streets five years prior, when her dear mother died. She meets a police officer who offers her all she can dream of, but she has to refuse - it's too much of an offer to accept. She's kindly forced to live with the policeman's son, Khaya, who she finds quite intriguing.
