Maggie and Bupe are cousins on either side of the world who couldn't be more different. Zambian- Nigerian and Zambian-Jamaican, both yearn for their disbanded family to reunite. When Bupe leaves Brixton to go to secondary school in Zambia, she brings light and disorder to Maggie's world. However, the girls are surrounded by dark family secrets such as the mysterious death of their late grandmother, and Maggie's missing Nigerian father.

From the blazing streets of the Brixton riots, to multi-party elections in Zambia and glitzy Independence Day celebrations in Lagos comes a heart-warming story that breathes life into the modern-day result of postcolonial Africa and 20th Century migration.
