In 1960s London, a Ghanaian student’s promise to his mother is tested by love. When Nii Narh Okine arrives from Ghana on a prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship, he carries with him more than hope for a better life—he carries a solemn promise to his mother to never date an English woman. But when he meets Charlotte, a captivating dancer with a fiercely independent spirit and a complicated past, Nii Narh’s resolve crumbles.

As their relationship deepens, buried secrets about family, history, and betrayal threaten to unravel everything. Caught between love and legacy, Nii Narh and Charlotte must confront painful truths and defy cultural expectations to forge their own path. 

Set against the charged backdrop of 1960s London and postcolonial Ghana, this is a stirring story of love, betrayal, and the choices that define us.
