A Nigerian woman is forced to choose between her family and her love when she falls in love with a man she knows will destroy her mother's heart.
When Azere was twelve years old, she made a dying father a vow that she would marry a Nigerian and carry on her culture even after moving to Canada. Since then, her mother has been assiduous in encouraging—even coercing—she to remain well within the Nigerian dating community. However, after yet another mother-made match goes awry, Azere finds herself at a bar, where she enjoys the company and eventually shares a bed with Rafael Castellano, a tall, attractive, white man.
Azere finds herself torn between her developing love for Rafael and her obsession with pleasing her mother, who will never approve of a relationship that could compromise Azere's Nigerian roots, when their one-night fling unexpectedly turns into something more.
Azere can't help but worry if her love for Rafael diminishes her Nigerian identity. Is it possible for her to be with him without giving up who she is? The response will either make Azere bold and determined to pursue her happiness or it will make her stay the obedient daughter.
