Glory Akindele returns to London from her seemingly glamorous life in LA to mourn the sudden death of her father, only to find her previously close family has fallen apart in her absence. Her brother, Victor, is in jail and wonāt speak to her because she didnāt come home for his trial. Her older sister, Faith, once a busy career woman, appears to have lost her independence and ambition, and is instead channeling her energies into holding together a perfect suburban family. Worst of all, their mother, Celeste, is headed toward a breakdown after the death of her husband and the shame of her sonās incarceration.
Rather than returning to America, Glory decides to stay and try to bring them all together again. Itās a tall order given that Gloryās life isnāt exactly working out according to plan either, and sheās acutely aware that sheās not so sure who she is and what she wants.
A chance reunion with a man sheād known in her teensāthe perceptive but elusive Julianāgives her the courage to start questioning why her respectable but obsessively private Nigerian immigrant family is the way it is. But then Gloryās questioning unearths a massive secret that shatters the familyās fragile peaceāand she risks losing everyone she deeply cares about in her pursuit of the truth and a reunited family.
