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?
