The story is a once-beaten twice shy story of a woman, Hlengiwe; who was previously faced violence and abuse from her then husband. Now she is treading perhaps more carefully than she should. A man comes into her life and seems to just want to love her, but the past is still too fresh and she refuses to let her guard down. She prefers to be independent and to hold the man at arm's length yet her heart is telling her otherwise. Who will win this battle between Hlengiwe and her heart? And while this battle goes on, what is the man up to? Is he really into her or does he just wants to take her powerful position from her?
