Aujene, regarded as a pillar of the community, is finally free of her stifling and oppressive marriage, but at what price? She is now shunned amongst her peers as the rumourmill goes into overdrive and her reputation lies in tatters. Her only child Aaida, navigating her teens in 90's Sydney, struggles to find meaning in the shift in people's attitude after the divorce, and she in turn snubs the community which would turn its back on one of its own so easily.
The two travel to Lebanon, where Aaida starts to peel back the delicate layers of her family history. In doing so, she starts to realise her own fears and the torments that plague her are all born of her own buried past.
It becomes a standing tradition that they return to Lebanon each Spring, where Aaida falls more in love with her cousin Khaled, the one thing she swore she'd never do. And in an unexpected turn, Aujene's past comes knocking on her door to invite itself into her future.
It's not long before Aaida, unfolding layer upon layer of family secrets, finds herself in the midst of her own tradedy which will shape her future in ways she never considered.
