Simi is a young girl who experiences the horrors and repercussions of rape in rural Nigeria. At 18, and fresh out of high school in the village of Agbome, Simi dreams of a better future for herself. A future that involves going to the University in the city and marrying her high school sweetheart, Henry.

However, those dreams are shattered when her innocence is stolen as she is raped by Efe, her close friend Lillian's brother who just returned to Agbome after his National Youth Service. Shattered, bruised and emotionally battered, Simi has to decide if to report the incidence or suffer in silence.

How will her parents handle it? Will Henry still love and adore her? Who will believe her? Will Efe ever pay for his sins? Will she ever be free to dream again? These are the many questions that haunt Simi as she battles with her self-loathing. Then everything goes from bad to worse when she discovers she is pregnant.

Rejected by the ones she loved , betrayed by those closest to her, hers is a heart-wrenching tale of dreams broken and hopes dashed, and of the emergence of a fighter from the ashes of defeat.
