Descrizione

For as long as she can remember, Patience Adewale, the eldest daughter of Chief Kolade Adewale, has waited for confirmation that she is loved, that there is a place where she truly belongs. Patience lives a sheltered life within the safe walls of her family mansion in Ibadan, but finds no comfort from her distant father and stepmother Modupe. Her only ally is her younger sister, but even Margaret’s love and support cannot overcome Patience’s insecurity and uncertainty.

More than anything, Patience wants to know why her father and uncle banished her mother from their compound years ago and if her mother is still alive. Determined to uncover the truth, Patience embarks on a desperate search to find her mother. Answers begin to emerge when she moves to Lagos for college and unexpectedly reconnects with her cousin Kash.

Kash and her friend Emeka are small-time thieves with a chance to make a big splash. To pull it off, they need help, and enlist Patience and Emeka’s brother Chike to partner in their scheme. The thieves plan to quit their jobs after this job. But unforeseen events lead to unexpected consequences, and exact a price from Patience that may be too high to pay.
