Dineo decides to make a fresh start and moves to Cape Town after a life-changing incident that almost destroyed her life. Emotionally unavailable and not interested in dating, she puts all her time into her career as a pediatrician. The move was exactly what she needed as her life begins to get back on track. Until one day when she comes home from work to find a little girl sitting by herself crying on the stairs of her apartment complex. Her effort to reunite the girl with her family lands Bongani on her doorstep. Bongani is a brokenhearted and emotionally scarred man who has dedicated his life to raising his little girl Zara after her mom walked out on them. His heart can’t allow him to get close to any woman, including the beautiful woman who rescued his little girl. Avoiding her isn’t easy, especially when she is developing a friendship with Zara. Dineo and Bongani soon discover that no matter how far you run from your past, it always has a way of landing on your doorstep. Will they be able to mend each other’s hearts and love again? Or will the ghosts of their past keep them apart?
