Sade Adejo (Sah-DAY Ah-deh-JOH) has always lived a simple life - a middle-aged Nigerian woman in Chicago with a steady job, quiet routines, and no reason to believe she's anything but ordinary.
Until the dreams start.
Flashes of a car crash. The sound of sirens. A boy's voice calling out for his mother.
And a name she's never heard before.
Each night, the visions get stronger. Each day, the feeling of not belonging in her own skin grows heavier. Memories that aren't hers begin to haunt her, and soon, Sade realizes the impossible truth...
She's remembering a life she's already lived.
A life that ended too soon.
Now, as her past and present collide, Sade must uncover why she's been given a second chance - and what unfinished business still binds a soul to hers.
✨ What if the person you were before never really left?
