Morayo, a London Artist is in the midst of creating the most beautiful masterpiece of her career. This work, that will propel her to the next level as an Artist fails to materialise. Desperate to clear her Artist block, she takes a walk in beautiful, scenic London, albeit wet and moody. On her walk, she encounters a mother and daughter. Something about their closeness and the mother's affection for her daughter triggers a deep rooted feeling in her that subsequently inspires her work of Art. Back at her studio, she begins to paint. It's beautiful. Lyrical. Magical. And then, it changes. She's hit with a memory, one that distorts the painting. As time goes on, we discover that Rayo is fighting some horrible demons, and had been for a while. But she's failing. Terribly. This hold further torments her when she receives a life changing call from Nigeria regarding her mother, Rose. This could be her saving grace. The journey back to Nigeria, the place that shaped her womanhood, the place where her demons were created. One of those demons, we soon learn is her mother, Rose. This journey is emotional, tumultuous and insightful for Rayo. We go back with her to the colourful, vibrant and exciting Nigeria in the 70s where we discover the reasons behind Rose's damaged mental state. Rayo soon comes face to face with Rose. She must fight, if she wants to be free. This isn't a physical fight. But one of the psyche, one of emotions, to find peace. It's a soul fight. Will she win or will she lose?
