Deola works as a financial reviewer for an international charity, and when her job takes her back to Nigeria in time for her father's five-year memorial service, she finds herself turning her scrutiny inward.

While there, she must navigate both the expectations of others, and the difference between foreign images of Africa and the realities of contemporary Nigerian life.
