Anjola's boyfriend, Jimi, dies unexpectedly in Kaduna during their National Youth Service year. When his mother comes for the body, she finds a pregnant Anjola and warns her not to make demands on their family with a baby she is not even sure her son fathered. Anjola returns home at the end of the service year, and her parents throw her out of their house for refusing to tell her who the child's father is. Determined to raise her daughter by herself, she lodges with a friend and finds a job to sort things. Five years later, one of Jimi's brothers tracks her down and convinces her to bring Simisola, her daughter, to meet their family. Anjola is unsure what Jimi's mother's reaction will be, especially when the unofficial head of the family, Folarin, Jimi's older brother, hates her guts on sight. She is determined however to prove her worth and change his opinion of her.
