Description
Seventeen-year-old Abike Johnson lives in a sprawling mansion in Lagos, protected by armed guards and ferried everywhere in a huge black jeep. Her life is one of luxury, but also loneliness behind the high walls of her house. When she buys ice cream from a young hawker on the roadside, their unlikely romance begins, defying the prejudices of Nigerian society. As they grow closer, revelations from Abike's past threaten to tear them apart. The hawker's life is vastly different from hers, and he struggles to make sense of the world after his father's death left him with little. Their relationship is tested by the harsh realities of their lives. Abike and the hawker must decide where their loyalties lie as they navigate their feelings for each other amidst the complexities of Nigerian society.
