Niru is keeping a painful secret: he is gay, which is a mortal sin to his conservative Nigerian parents. The only person who knows is his best friend Meredith. When his parents accidentally find out, the repercussions are brutal. Meredith, who is dealing with her own problems, discovers she does not have a lot to give to Niru emotionally. The two friends struggle to reconcile their wishes with the roles society wants them to assume.
