This is a dramatic romance that tackles the taboo of age-gap love and family hostility. It shows how love can come from unexpected places and how families can challenge what they cannot accept.
In a quiet town lives Amaka, a woman in her late 40s. She has raised children, a home she kept, and life is moving steadily. She never expected much more than peace. One day, she meets Tunde, a young man in his 20s, energetic, hopeful, working hard for his future. Tunde helped Amaka when her car broke down. They talked. He made her laugh. She felt young again.

Tunde tries to earn their trust by helping around the house, offering support. Amaka stands between her children and her heart. She wonders if she must choose between love or approval.
