A young couple is trapped in the cycle of everyday life. Dolly is the homemaker and labourer while Ngozi gets to be himself and treats Dolly like a servant. This cycle is broken when Dolly decides to leave Ngozi to begin a new life and finally gain freedom. She realizes that she cannot get far as there is no escaping the life set out for her. While she fights for freedom, her body remains the property of patriarchy. Even her death does not allow her escape as Ngozi violates her corpse, entrenching the notion that there is no escape for Dolly.
