Description
Samuel Tyne's life has been one of quiet desperation. Fifteen years after leaving Ghana for Canada, he finds himself stuck in a thankless job at 40. But when he inherits his uncle's mansion, Samuel sees an opportunity to start anew. He moves to Aster with his wife and their twin daughters, hoping to leave his troubled past behind. The town's picturesque appearance and quiet intimacy offer a sense of belonging, but beneath its surface lies a darkness that threatens to destroy him. As Samuel tries to rebuild his life, he must confront the secrets and violence that have haunted him for so long.
