Born to wealth and privilege, Adesuwa Bakare lived a sheltered life, untouched by the rapidly deteriorating economic conditions in her country, Nigeria.
Her world is turned upside down, when she is kidnapped and tortured for ransom by desperate criminals. The harrowing experience forces her and her young family to join the thousands, who have left their flailing nation in pursuit of a better life abroad.
Her world is turned upside down, when she is kidnapped and tortured for ransom by desperate criminals. The harrowing experience forces her and her young family to join the thousands, who have left their flailing nation in pursuit of a better life abroad.
Seeking security and stability, she, her husband Raji, and their two children - Hasan and Amirah - must navigate the unique challenges their adopted country presents. It has taken them several years to assimilate and even longer to rebuild all that they lost.
But their growing sense of confidence and security in the new homeland - America, is shattered when they start to see the parallels, that created the societal decline they ran away from. As their new world unravels, they have to face the harsh reality, that beneath the surface of success - even in paradise - wealth and power means nothing, when the system is broken.
