Afi Tekple lives in a small town in Ghana with her widowed mother until she is offered a life-changing opportunity - a proposal of marriage from the wealthy family of Elikem Ganyo, a man she doesn't truly know. She acquiesces, but soon realizes that Elikem is not quite the catch he seemed. It turns out that he is in love with another woman, whom his family disapproves of and Afi is supposed to win him back on their behalf. But it is the city Accra that eventually wins Afi's heart and gives her a life of independence that she never could have imagined for herself.
