Amma Darko
When young Efia is sent from her rural village to work as a housemaid in Accra, she dreams of a better life. But her hopes are dashed as she becomes entangled in a web of exploitation and betrayal. At the centre of this web is Tika, a wealthy, self-made businesswoman whose rise from poverty came at a steep personal cost.
Haunted by her past and driven by guilt, Tika takes Efia into her home, hoping to redeem herself by offering the girl a future. But in a society riddled with class divides and gendered expectations, both women must navigate a world where survival often demands sacrifice.
