Introduction

Pamela Adie’s film catches up with Adaora and ífé after both have moved on. Adaora settled into comfortable domesticity with her husband, while ífé found love in South Africa. But when they unexpectedly cross paths at a Lagos bookstore, old flames ignite, threatening to upend everything they’ve built.
