Following the harrowing and premature birth of her daughter, Armah slips into a coma. She awakens, days later, to discover that she is alone, and her baby has been stolen.
Destitute and with no means to support herself, Armah is befriended by the wealthy Melissa who offers her a home in her sprawling mansion and pays her medical bills.
With nowhere else to turn, Armah accepts but quickly finds herself caught in a love triangle between herself, Melissa and Melissa's husband, Oliver.
Then, almost from nothing, she receives information telling her that her daughter is in Libya, being cared for by a rich family. She is offered the chance to travel there and soon Armah is dreaming of being reunited with the child she has lost.
Is Armah really being offered the chance of a lifetime, or is she about to become trapped in a nightmare far worse than the one she has already been living?
In Libya she sees an opportunity to take back what is hers, but it may be harder than she ever thought.
