A British diplomat, Justin Quayle, leads an apparently tranquil life in the world of diplomacy in Africa. However, the death of his wife, Tessa, a passionate human rights activist, plunges him into a spiral of pain and confusion. Tessa was a brave and committed woman who was investigating mysterious medical tests conducted by a pharmaceutical company in the region, which involved vulnerable people. As Justin grapples with his loss, he begins to uncover that Tessa’s life was filled with secrets he was unaware of.
Driven by the desire to understand how his wife came to lose her life, he embarks on a journey that will take him to the depths of corruption and power. As he unravels the truth, he realizes that his former life was never what he thought it was. The search for answers transforms into a fierce battle against a system that protects the interests of large corporations at all costs.
What began as a mission to clarify the dark fate of Tessa evolves into an exposé of the exploitation and lack of ethics that prevail in the pharmaceutical industry. The story not only explores love and betrayal but also highlights the moral dilemmas and injustices faced by African communities, as Justin confronts a reality that will change his life forever.
