Otswakae Rampedi is a young man who has an incessant nagging feeling about his absent father. He wants to know who his father is, to discover his origin and know his ancestral lineage. But his mother is unrelenting and will not tell him her secret and his persistence on the matter drives a wedge between them.

Unable to pursue his dream of becoming a lawyer, due to lack of finances, he works as a gardener and his anguish escalates when his employer’s daughter becomes obsessed with him. The family is determined to protect their teenage daughter and he soon finds himself unemployed with few prospects.

But at last fortune smiles on Otswakae and it seems dreams can come true when he not only finds a way to realise his career dreams but also meets the love of his life. But still he has not let go of his obsession to find his father, and a visit to his great-grandmother plunges him into harrowing and deeply held maternal family secrets that unearth unbearable truths with crippling results.
