Three siblings. Three promises. Three lifetimes of saying all the wrong things.
Since their mother’s death, siblings Imran, Sumaya, and Majid have drifted in three very different directions, trying to live up to the last promises they each made to her. But when a viral news piece throws an unwanted spotlight on the family, they are drawn back into each other’s lives for the first time in years.
With the media attention exposing the cracks in Imran’s already fragile marriage, he begs Sumaya to return from New York to help—but living under the same roof again after all this time brings up all the secrets they had both thought were long-buried. And now nothing can stop the truth from coming out.
With the promises they once made now in tatters, is this a chance for the siblings to finally live the lives they’ve always wanted to and rebuild the bond they once had? Or has too much already been said?
