A man has to come to terms with his dark secret and choose between keeping his family or accepting a life of possible loneliness and rejection.
In Lagos, Nigeria, Ebele Njoko has been running all his life. A search for acceptance and love from his family has led him to recreate himself as Adrian Njoko, respected father, husband, and brother. Suddenly, Adrian's past and secrets have caught up with him and his world soon begins to crumble as he frantically tries to control the growing ripple effect of a revelation.
