His older brother, Ade, persistently plagues him with criticism, and their mother has started drinking again. Unbeknownst to all, Tunde has orchestrated the return of his long estranged father, resurrecting unresolved family drama against the backdrop of Tunde's celebration. As the day turns to night, old wounds are re-opened and bad habits are revived. Layer by layer, deception and half-truths are peeled away as secrets are uncovered in what will become the most unforgettable day the family has ever experienced. U.S. In English.
