Even in your father's house you can feel like an outsider... Recently graduated, Anne is in Ghana for the first time. Her father, Dick, has been working up country for an NGO since his daughter was a small child. They no longer really know each other. A few days into her six-month stay, the houseboy Moses returns from a trip. As the weeks pass, Anne has a growing feeling that she's surplus to requirements. Dick is grumpy and distant; Moses distinctly put out at her continued presence. She finds respite teaching eager young pupils at a local Catholic school. Then, out of the blue, a terrible accident changes everything. In its aftermath, Anne's closeness to a priest in trouble with his superiors at the Mission, reaches a tipping point that endangers them both.
