The central character, Adenike (played by Danai Gurira), is a young Nigerian woman who has recently married Ayodele (played by Isaach De Bankolé), a successful owner of a small restaurant. The couple is deeply in love and desperately desires to have children to complete their happy family.
However, as years pass by, Adenike struggles to conceive a child, despite the cultural and societal pressure placed upon her to have a baby. This infertility pressure is further enhanced by the fact that Ayodele comes from a traditional African family, where bearing children is considered a woman's ultimate purpose in life.
Faced with the unimaginable pressure to fulfill her cultural duties and save her marriage, Adenike is tempted by a desperate and unconventional solution. She is persuaded by her mother-in-law, Ma Ayo (played by Bukky Ajayi), to consider secretly conceiving a child with Ayodele's brother, Biyi (played by Tony Okungbowa). The baby would then be passed off as Ayodele's own, ensuring the continuation of the family lineage.
Caught between her love for her husband and her desire for motherhood, Adenike reluctantly agrees to this dangerous plan. However, as the secrecy and guilt weigh heavily upon her, their carefully constructed deception unravels, threatening their marriage, her relationship with Ayodele, and the delicate threads that hold their community together.
As Adenike navigates the complexities of her situation, she must confront her own identity, her cultural expectations, and the lengths she is willing to go to uphold her marriage and fulfill her role as a wife and potential mother. With her sense of self increasingly tested, Adenike must ultimately make a choice that will determine the fate of her marriage, her family, and her own happiness.
