While Jumai unknowingly becomes the victim of love to her own brother, Martins, Kabuo and Barrister John are set to unravel the mysteries of their true identities in their search. Lucia, a woman previously thought dead, is found alive again several years after she was believed to have abandoned her child at Mazi Ezeji's gatehouse and drowned herself in the Umummiri River. Maxwell-who happens to be one of those who was able to withstand and break the torture and the unsound face of his time, turning everything into a canny, productive musing as long as it favors his interest-denies being responsible for Lucia's pregnancy, along with his friends, Makim Mujab and Mobi Dabo. But today, a gruesome gray-like thunder cloud hangs over his head. He looks subdued, like a slave who has entangled himself in the web of his own burden with an irrevocable obligation to make atonement for his deeds, because everything he built crumbles into ruins due to his own inner decay. Several hours passed, yet he wraps himself in silence like a ghost arrested in the grave, with every hope of rising always foiled, and he could only hope for the nights of fellows when all of them who share in the conspiracy of their ugly coincidence would be judged by the hands of the unfolding time.
