Johannesburg, 1993.

Torn by fear and despair, a young woman abandons her newborn son on the steps of a priest's house. It is a harsh beginning to life for David and an even harsher childhood at the hands of the priest who takes him in. David tears himself apart to survive into adulthood, keeping his real self and his dreams hidden from view, always in fear of the consequences. One day a young woman named Jennifer bursts his world apart. Her spirit and presence transforms his life...but she is torn, too, by vows she is soon to take. Together they face a future neither of them can control.
