When Aisha descends into depression after her husband's death, her oldest daughter Vi finds herself forced to bear the major responsibilities of a parent, while her younger son Troy is excluded from school and increasingly cut off from the rest of the family. From there, an unexpected tragedy will either make or break an already fractured family.
