Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Deborah, a young Yoruba girl, grows up under the strict guidance of her father-a devout pastor who believes that women should remain silent and submissive, always deferring to the men in their lives. From childhood, she is taught that obedience is her duty, that questioning is rebellion, and that her worth is measured by how well she serves others. But as she grows, Deborah begins to see the world differently. Every encounter with men-whether in her father's church, on the streets of Lagos, or later in her forced marriage-becomes a painful reminder of how society seeks to silence her. Married off to one of her father's church members, she enters a life of cruelty, where her husband's fists and harsh words are constant punishments for daring to have a voice. Yet, within her burns a quiet defiance. Through pain, loss, and the suffocating expectations placed upon her, she fights to carve out a place for herself-a life where she is heard, where she is seen, where she is more than just a shadow behind men. This is Deborah's journey of resistance, of breaking free from the chains of oppression, and of reclaiming her right to exist on her own terms in a world that tells her she is less.

A single mother, Tsitsi has build up so much hatred for men and has put them in a shell of selfish human beings that her ideologies have become those of having her guards up and seeing men as only narcissistic beings. Part of her inanimate fear emanates from the fact that her former lover and father of her only daughter deserted them in a time of need. Others, from the ideologies of her own mother. Another woman who was raised as an only daughter by her single mother. For Tsitsi this seems to be history repeating itself. Put more forward; a generational curse. The tables however turn, when we are introduced to Keith who is a recent but unemployed graduate. He ferries through a life of struggling after supposedly, deserting his pregnant girlfriend and stepdaughter.

The story builds on how a depressed African man and woman realise that anything taught by their fathers and forefathers might really not apply in today's world.
