The novel follows Ejima Jnr., a young man faced with a life-altering challenge from birth, as he embarks on a journey to discover himself and find meaning in a world marked by neglect and societal displacement.

His father, Ejima Snr. and Beatrice his wife, gave birth to him with a serious condition known as imperforate anus, where a baby is born without an opening for the anus. This made his parents abandon him at the hospital because they didn’t know how to handle his disability.

Ejima’s struggle is a powerful reflection of societal challenges and the resilience required to overcome them. The novel navigates a maze of despair and hope, revealing a powerful narrative of love and transformation.

However, despite the hardship, his mother continued to secretly visit him in the hospital, proving her love for her child.
