In the glittering corridors of political power in Abuja and the sleek skylines of Atlanta, three lives spiral into a tangled web of passion, secrecy, and betrayal.
Nasir Audu is a rising star in Northern Nigeria's elite-charismatic, ambitious, and married to Zainab, a graceful, dignified woman bred from power and tradition. Their union was arranged, their chemistry public, their truth private. But behind the kaftans and campaigns lies a secret Nasir can't leave behind.
Sameera Yusuf is his secret. A brilliant, self-made tech entrepreneur with a haunting past and curves that command the room, she lives thousands of miles away in Atlanta until she doesn't. When she walks into a political event in Abuja, her eyes meet Nasir's... and his worlds collide.
Zee has always known something was missing. But when a stranger from Atlanta is introduced with one too many coincidences, suspicion takes root. As truths unravel, all three are forced to confront the lies they've built their lives around.
Told from alternating perspectives Nasir, Zee, and Sameera.
This is a searing, emotional ride through love, power, deceit, and cultural identity, set between two continents and the space between duty and desire.
