When Ezenwanyi, the revered Gynaecologist of the Private Hospital in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria, finds herself trapped in a tradition shaped by bizarre dogmas, she combines grievous decisions with hectoring pride. Ukwunna is too much of a sissy to protect himself from his wife, Ezenwanyi, whose firmness tames him to be submissive to her tall orders and battering. In silence he perseveres, frantic for a stroke of luck to stamp his virility before her, but she’s oblivious to the method in his madness. The stunning teenager, Golda, shows up from Ezenwanyi’s secret past and the family’s allegiance crinkles severely as the Amazon, Ezenwanyi, entangles herself and the entire household in a gully of lies, treachery, revenge, chaos, bitterness, fear, love and more secrets. When a house inferno leaves 18 month-old Amarachi as the only survivor, she is adopted by the pair. She is the unseen eyes with a photographic memory that shares into the deep dark secrets of this regimented middle-class family. Will the prejudiced creed of stern Ezenwanyi turn out for the best or boomerang?
