Orphaned in Africa as a child, Lilly escapes to England as a refugee, fleeing civil war in Ethiopia. Lost in this cold new world, Lilly embraces the immigrant community in London, attempting to reunite people with their scattered families. But as her friend Amina discovers, Lilly's mission isn't purely selfless: a passionate lost love affair is revealed.
Instead of a typical refugee narrative focused solely on survival, this story centers on a young girl attempting to mend the fractured bonds of her new community. Her pursuit of connection masks a complex, underlying desperation that complicates her supposed altruism.
